4/5

Brilliant. Cherry-garnet colour of medium intensity. Brick red reflections. Elegant and intense. Appear red fruit and licorice aromas with maturity and AGEING: spices, snuff and vanilla leaf. Soft, round and balanced. A wine that denotes the origin of Rioja Alta and whose mix of varieties provides balance and freshness in the mouth characteristic of the wines of the area.

Smell of ripe fruit compote. According to my personal opinion, it was quite flat on the palate.
This wine is a classic.
