Description

  • Spicy oak
  • Dried cherry
  • Cake spice
  • Soft palate

"Seductively complex and enticing, the bouquet shows dried cherry, fine leather, cake spice and toasted nut aromas. The palate offers excellent weight and silky flow, wonderfully supported by fine grainy tannins. Generous yet refined with savoury richness, finishing persistent and robust" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit

"Mellow, medium-bodied Rioja with savoury, baked earth, dried herb, vanilla, violet and subtle spicy oak flavours. A good example of well made Rioja at a competitive price" Bob Campbell, Master of Wine, Real Review

"This is an organic wine made from Tempranillo, Garnacha and Graciano showcasing aromas and flavours of sweet meats and red flowers, fresh and dried strawberries, wet clay and crushed stones, sweet spices of soil and oak. Dry, taut, a decent tannin and acid squeeze with flavours of dark red berry fruits, spiced plums, bitter chocolate and sandy textures. Moderate oak levels, excellent texture overall, a classic style with best drinking alongside food" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
