Past its best, even for an aged Rioja drinker. Drink up.

A well made, balanced and rewarding Tempranillo, combining dense dark berry aromas, liquorice, vanilla and spices with earthy notes and umami. Still evolving. Give it 5 years to further improve. PS: the wine very much improved the next day, gaining complexity and expression.

Really enjoyable wine. I drank it in 2024 and this seems like a really good age for this wine. Nice balance between fruit and tannins.

After an impolite service in restaurant Álbora I just crossed to the other side of the steet to have dinner at La Colonial de Goya. Friendly waiters, poor food and short wine list. This bottle isn't yet ready. It is lovely with food but excessively oaky and fresh. Needs time to develop some complexity but really promising at this point. Después de un pésimo servicio en Álbora simplemente cruzamos la calle para acabar comiendo en La Colonisl de Goya. Camareros …

Lo compre con grandes esperanzas despues de la alta puntuacion en Decanter Enero (93). Buena carga de frutos rojos, ahumados, incluso cierto aire mineral. Y aunque es bastante sabroso, hay algo del conjunto que no me convence. Claramente el tanino todavía sin integrar, pero es mas bien algo defectuoso, un regusto metalico (quiza Bret, pero no se porque no tenido muchas experiencias previas). Lo comprare en otra tienda y comentare. No puntuo de momento. I bought this one with great …

Good stuff. Bit of tar on the nose, and vinyl. Well integrated, smoky, juicy, decent linger but not palate smothering. Nice pucker. Quite focused, intense taste - draws the palate inwards rather than outwards. Quite chewy but not monolithic.

Fruit driven wine with a remarkable sense of wood at this stage but really promising. Very savoury, long yet delicate palate. A good example of this outstanding vintage. Served by the glass in restaurant Estay, Hermosilla st in Madrid. Impolite service. Tapas are a tramp. Never again. Un vino con mucha futa y una remarcada madera en este momento pero de verdad que promete. De paladar muy sabroso, largo y delicado. Un buen ejemplo de esta añada fuera de lo …
