2006 El Puntido is the current release, and it is stunning. Remarkably elegant, Burgundy-like expression of Rioja Alta from a cooler high elevation site. High-toned, floral and mineral with silken texture, melted tannins and ample concentration. Iron fist inside a velvet glove.

Wow, this is great. Smooth tannins and a light texture yet unmistakably a Rioja. Great wine and QPR

Excellent rioja - modern style, kinda missing that dusty tannin thing, but excellent nonetheless.

11/19. Great bottle of wine. Flavor, color, and finish. Nice on the palate.

A medium body Rioja- very smooth but clearly old vine. Not too oak heavy, good earthiness, dark red or black fruits, good acidity.
