Wow. This is young, and the nose is a bit of dark red berry suffusing a sea of resolving American Oak. The American oak is so pronounced that, had I tasted this blind, I might have taken it for Ridge... :) This has decades ahead, even if -only- a Riserva. Like La Rioja Alta 904, a fantastic value in old school Rioja... — 9 years ago

Dark fruits, intense colour, great legs. A real bargain. — 8 years ago
Big potent nose with notes of black cherries, dark chocolate, leather, cedarwood, licorice and forrest ground. Big body with concentrated fruit, well balanced tannins, fresh acidity and long aromatic finnish - Always a great pleasure👍 — 9 years ago
Excellent stand alone red! — 12 years ago
Very rich with flavor. More flavor then the regular red ménage a trois. Both are great! — 9 years ago
Needs time to open up. Huge wine. Finish keeps going. Confusing but delicious mix of sweet dark fruit, tar, and salty ocean air. — 10 years ago

Pure currant fruit, nimble with good concentration, still on the young side, aging very gracefully. — 8 years ago
