With its spice and fig aromas, this registers as a rich, mature Rioja reserva. The palate runs toward sweet plums and blackberry, while the finish is mildly toasty and full, with coffee as the lasting flavor. This has many good qualities, not the least of which is balance and a touch of citrus peel. Best now–2010. 525 cases produced.

Earthy and fully ripe, with classic Rioja aromas of sweet leather, herbs and a touch of raisin. But once you get it onto the palate you’ll be impressed with the roundness of the body and the depth of the cola, cherry and plum flavors. Finishes with cocoa, buttered toast and width. Drink now through 2008.

This wine is not up there with the bodega’s top bottlings. It’s rather sweet and soft, with mildly green and minty aromas. In the mouth, there’s size and power but also a strong medicinal overtone that dampens the fiesta. In the end it’s big and fruity but there’s no sense of path or purpose.
