Jun 7th, 2022Elegant. This is a very different wine from the ‘90 Faustino. Lovely Rioja earth an classic notes leaning to the savory side with figs and cherries.

Dec 17th, 2018For a long time I bashed these wines as being thin and insipid. Joke's on me, Lòpez doesn't (and never will) give a fuck and these wines will always be their regal, timeless selves. Dried strawberries, palo santo, marjoram. Wait if you can!
