PBT: The unique balance that this wine displays gives it a great expression with unsuspected length; an authentic assertion of style and terroir. A signature wine with a captivating personality. SJE: Rich and bold, but not too weighty, this is a ripe Rioja with all the classical style. The gentle notes of oak are well tuned to the blackberry flavours and it shows real flair. PM: Charming hints of leather and spice ooze from the concentrated palate, but it is well balanced with great presence. This just proves that is it a well-proportioned and beautifully structured wine.

Strawberry and raspberry intensity fuses with smooth tannins and oak spice to give an elegant and lighter style. Pure acid drives through to the red fruit and toffee nut softness.
