Attractive dark ruby-red color. Intense bouquet of fruits of the forest that open out with very refined oak in the background. Charming mature fruit in the mouth that highlights this wine's noble origin. Flavors are still fresh with pleasant fullness that combines with tannins to give a nice balance. Unctuous structure and good complexity that come through elegantly, promising an excellent development in the bottle. Luscious finish with refined, well-integrated tannins. A splendid wine.
critical acclaim: "This reflects the vintage in its beefy richness, while it follows Cáceres's modern style in the polish and elegance of its tannin. The fruit develops definition with air, tasting of tiny cherries and red currants. For the cellar, or give it time in a decanter for lamb chops off the grill." 91 Points Wine & Spirits
"Deep and dark, with attractive berry aromas. No mulchy, overoaked interference at all; it’s a clean wine with a medium-to-full body and lightly buttered berry, cherry and raspberry flavors. A mouthfilling, honest Rioja reserva with texture and a bit of vanilla on the finish." 90 Points Wine Enthusiast
