The plan is to shift the source of this pure Tempranillo red to the Rioja Alavesa in future, butthe 2019 release still contains a 10% component from the Rioja Alta sub-region. Aged in 50%new American and French oak, this is a sweet, spicy, well-structured Reserva with red berryand coconut flavours, some tannic backbone and a balsamic lift. Drink date: 2025-2031. Score - 92. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2025)

This wine has aromas of grapefruit, lychee and freshly chopped parsley. It is soft on the palate, with flavors of passion fruit, lemon zest, and orange blossom. The finish is noted for a light floral note. Score - 88. (Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 1, 2022)
