RATING: 90 Points - Wine Enthusiast
"Earthy and fully ripe, with classic Rioja aromas of sweet leather, herbs and a touch of raisin. But once you get it onto the palate you�ll be impressed with the roundness of the body and the depth of the cola, cherry and plum flavors. Finishes with cocoa, buttered toast and width."
