Tasted by:
(at Decanter's March 2017 issue Premium Red Rioja Panel Tasting, 12 Dec 2016)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2023
Bold and juicy, this is a foursquare Rioja with fierce black fruits and a savoury grain of tannin and a big bold finish. It is forceful yet you can tell that behind the façade it is refined.
