Big and toasty, with graphite, rubber and leather accenting pure black-fruit aromas. This is one ripe, tannic Rioja, but it’s pure and the berry flavors sing a nice song. Solid on the finish, with length and feel. Shows the right stuff without blowing you away. Imported by Grapes of Spain.

Ripe and heavy, with a chunky overtone to the nose that's perfectly right for the earth and spice that's present. This wine is almost two-faced in character: It has zest, acidity and red fruit that make you think along traditional lines; but the weight and a raisiny underbelly remind you of the vintage. Best now through 2008.

A little charred and oaky at first, but also meaty, leathery and true to Rioja and Tempranillo. The palate is flush and full, with expansive tannins and acidity propping up olive and herb-tinged blackberry flavors. Medium deep and long on the finish. A positive, semimodern Rioja that can handle some aging.

Opaque in color, with reduced aromas of mushroom, rubber and so forth. But do not give up on this masculine bruiser; it will loosen up with air and offer plum, leather and chocolate flavors that are nothing short of excellent. And while it’s a touch zesty at its core, the wine still mixes in enough coffee and richness to make it a modern-style success story.
