Had another bottle in my cellar. Founded by Guillermo Eguren, who is a self-made "bodeguero", coming from a family tradition of vine growers. Made from 100% Tempranillo, clear Ruby with complex aromas of spicy red fruits. On the palate raspberry and black cherry with smoky toasty notes, well balanced. Tangy finish with cedar and tobacco on lingering ending. Tremendous value, aged well, you will be impressed as I am!

Nice Rioja, dry, and subtle. Well balanced and many layers. Curious how it opens up. This is part of the '16 top ten at NCWC, and I would agree.

Dec 18th, 2016A 100% Tempranillo wine, Ruby color, I noticed aromas of black cherries and raspberries with some smoky spicy. Aged for 14 months in French and American Oak, the palate showed complex flavors of sweet ripe red/blue berry fruit, with current undertones, medium acidity, soft tannins and slight tangy cedar/tobacco finish. Very enjoyable, especially the price. Tremendous Spanish wine value. Tasting Sample.

Wild berry, earth spice, bit of pickle barrel, minerality, hint of tar, med tannin and cocoa on the finish. Doing some justice with filet and sautéed mushrooms. Pardon the paper plate, feeling a bit lazy :)

Not much on the nose but wow on the flavor! I’d wager this wine is at or close to at its peak. Deliciously smooth; very little tannins. Also, for under $22 I feel like I got a steal!
