Rated vintages

    Like most 2013s in Rioja, this smells gritty and earthy more than overtly ripe. A plump, slightly flat palate houses medium-ripe berry and plum flavors. A dry, peppery finish with moderate but present oak is solid.

  • 201189 pts

    Gritty, muscular aromas of charred, smoky black fruits and asphalt give way to a medium-full palate with good acidity. Saucy, savory berry and plum flavors finish with notes of herbs and tobacco. For Rioja crianza, this is more than satisfying.

  • 200883 pts

    A dusty cherry aroma turns harsh with airing, setting up a tight, acidic palate that's marked by tart raspberry and plum flavors. Scouring, spicy and peppery on the finish, this amounts to a tight, hard and basic Rioja.
