Really oaky at the start. Opened up with time. Berries shine.

Oct 21st, 2017Deep garnet red almost ruby red. Quite an earthy nose with notes of forest floor, a bit dirty, dark cocoa and a touch of raisin. Similar notes on the palate with solid acidity. Notes of dark red fruits, black currants and some petrol. Well integrated tannins (5.5/10) and medium body. Medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2023.

Apr 29th, 2017Whoa!!! This is a big one no doubt. Ripe and loads of oak, but it handles it well. So enjoyable for a couple of glasses and a true crowd pleaser. Well done but not overdone

Jul 31st, 2019A big massive rioja. Saying this has some earthy aromas would be an understatement. Red fruits, tobacco, lavender, and earthiness but not as much as on the nose.
