Reviews and Ratings

Tania Thomas - CSW, WSET ADV rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Lovely dry, ruby coloured Rioja, a blend of Mazuelo, Graciano, Garnacha and Tempranillo. It delivers a fragrant nose of strawberries and cherries. Smooth, elegant and complex on the palate with soft tannins and berry, spice and vanilla flavours and long lingering smoky finish. Enjoy with grilled beef or serve with a platter of charcuterie.
Community Reviewer reviewed this wine as follows:
