Improved since last time I drank this - much more ripe - even a baked dark fruit character… some earth driven elements but fairly straight forward with lovely balance & poise. Cohesive, nice acidity and smooth finish. Built for the intermediate haul as entry level Rioja.

Nov 10th, 2023Meh, expected a lot more. I’ve have the old Riserva from this winery going back to late 90s. This as an entry level is OK - remains in the traditional Rioja style w/delicate red fruit spice & some juicy acidity, but this was a bit too thin & lacking density of flavor. Again, low price point & fairly enjoyable but had higher hopes.
