“I got it because I asked some friends from Rioja to bring it over. Good colour. Aromas of coffee and wood. The flavour of this makes my body happy.”

“Excellent; very pleasant to drink, and body”

“Ripe, spicy, friendly, long fruit. . . A leader in its area, elegant.”

“It has a dense colour. It had a wonderful aroma of cherry and red fruit. This is what is called a fleshy wine. It's better not to pair it and drink it alone. I like to surprise my family with this wine.”

“At sight, it offered an intense cherry colour. I cleary noticed toasty notes. It left a long taste. We paired it with meat but I would have prefered to pair it with another dish. A client gave it to me.”
