A blend of 80% Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha, rest Graciano and Mazuelo, aged 5 years in American oak, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe jammy fruits, spice and tobacco notes, resulting from a warm dry growing season. On the palate flavors of ripe plum, blueberry and ripe cherry with spice, tobacco and cedar notes. Fine big rustic tannins, long finish, savory ending with tobacco and leather notes. Nice! — 20 days ago
Lovely wine. It’s wild that recent releases go for $200+ per bottle. Bought for $40 from vinchicago many years ago, after having at Terete in Haro, Rioja on our honeymoon.
Paired with grilled leg of lamb marinated with garlic, rosemary, thyme, and orange. Opened 4 hours ahead and decanted an hour. Not quite as deep as the last bottle (2+ years ago) but still very delicious. Wonderful example of what well made top quality Rioja can be. Incredible depth on the palate and finish. Medium perfect acid. Just delicious. — 3 days ago
Een eer om te drinken. Deze wijn blijft geven en is perfect in balans en bovenal prachtig op dronk. Pure verse truffel, tabak, leer, laurier, paddenstoelen.
Gekregen voor mijn verjaardag vorig jaar van al mijn lieve vrienden, gezien '95 mijn geboortejaar is en nu mogen drinken met wijnvrienden om te vieren dat we samen eerste werden op het NK blindproeven. Heel dankbaar! ❤️ — 10 hours ago
