Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Concentrated and sweet, with a baked, raisiny richness that maintains its clarity. The palate is dense but not punishing or tannic. Flavors of blackberry and prune veer toward syrupy, setting up a sweet, generous finish of fig paste and coconut. Modern-styled Rioja done right.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
An earthy, bulky wine with aromas of saddle leather, crushed spice and raisin. The palate is snappier than the bouquet, as blackberry and plum fruit show accents of dill, herbs, leather and soy sauce. A legitimate, muscular Rioja made in the so-called modern style. Drink now through 2014.
