The 12 months in oak barrels give it a similar behavior to a crianza, but with a fruity and fresh sensation. Intense cherry red with violet hues, high layer, clean and very bright. Aromas of blueberries, blackberries, black pepper, clove, cedar, tobacco, chocolate and violet caramel. Dense, fruity palate with good oak. Well balanced acidity friendly, easy to drink.

Jeb Dunnuck-Ribera del Duero, Spain - "...this classy fruit bomb has loads of pretty blue and red fruits, a touch of spice and floral notes, medium-bodied richness, no hard edges, and just a charming, deliciously quaffable style. I'd be happy to drink a bottle 

James Suckling-Ribera del Duero, Castilla y Leon, Spain- "Quite attractive, rich and ripe, dark-berry and plum nose here with a bold, juicy feel and a wealth of sleek, fresh, red and dark berries on the palate."

An elegant expression of premium Rioja vines made from Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo. Aged for 3 years as a minimum. 18 months in American and French oak barrels and 18 more in bottles. The end result is a rounded, flavorsome and 

JamesSuckling.com - Thursday, February 3, 2022. "Blackberries and cherries with dark walnuts and graphite on the nose. Full-bodied with firm and creamy tannins and a long, caressing finish. The quality of the tannins is really impressive here. Fresh and curated texture to this wine. Step-up in quality here. 100% tinta de toro. Lovely to drink now, but will be even better in 2023."
