This is effectively the second wine from Koldo Eguren, made with Tempranillo from five different parcels in Elciego, Elvillar, Laguardia and Lapuebla. Using some concrete fermentation as well as 15% carbonic maceration, it has mint, wild herb and kitchen spice aromas, flavours of blackberry, plum and dark chocolate and a focused, refreshing finish. Drink date: 2026-2032. Score - 93. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2025)
