“Attractive nose of dark cherries, dill, thyme, coconut and chocolate. Some salted caramel, too. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and vibrant acidity. So balanced and fresh with a long, refined finish. 95% tempranillo and 5% graciano. Better from 2024.”

“… open and expressive, with notes of berries, fresh blood and iron, orange peel and sweet spices … This should be a classical vintage of this wine in the making ….”

“This superb Gran Reserva … showcases the Rioja Alavesa villages of Labastida and Laguardia … it's refined, detailed and poised … Stylish, age-worthy stuff.”
