16.5/20 (90/100) Аромат с тонами чёрных ягод, маковых зёрен, шоколада и травянистой нотой. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и умеренной танинностью. Очень хорошо! — 8 years ago

Stony taste with lots of minerality. Citrus flavor. Literally the only maturana Blanca in the world, grown on two hectares owned by ljalba. A very obscure wine you can geek out on! — 11 years ago

8.9

Plum, pencil lead, cinnamon, clove, cooked blueberries, rhubarb pie, oak, cedar, with some tertiary notes of raisins and mushrooms. High tannins, medium plus acid, medium plus finish, and high alcohol. If you like bright fruity wines, this isn’t it. Rather, it is an interesting rustic wine that I’d pair with Italian sausage, pot roast, and smoked ribs. Drink now. I don’t think it would benefit from aging. — 2 years ago

First graciano ever drank, and quite pleased with it. Rather complex and different than your typical Rioja. — 9 years ago

Another of my wedding wines. Organic grapes grown over a reclaimed open pit mining site, clean fruit and a touch of oak, a long dry finish. — 13 years ago

Fantastic Crianza. I did not expect the complex flavours shown here in a Crianza. Perfect way to finish the evening. — 10 years ago

Damn good Rioja Crianza from awesome father & son duo Santiago Ijalba Garcìa & Roberto Ijalba Pérez. Lovely, lifted, full of ripe sweet cherries, great acid with a persistent soft spice on the finish. — 12 years ago
