Pedro Ballesteros MW

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Quite oaky, a pity because it hides a balanced expression of a cooler climate style, with a refined finish.

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Youthful nose with defined red fruits and smoky vanilla. Grippy palate. Long finish needing food.

Annette Scarfe MW

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Parsley and thyme with capsicum and spice. Juicy but lean with elegance. Drinking well now.
