Tasted by: Pedro Ballesteros Torres MW, Sarah Jane Evans MW, Pierre Mansour
(at Decanter's March 2017 issue Premium Red Rioja Panel Tasting, 12 Dec 2016)
Drinking Window: 2017 - 2023
A 2009 Rioja in an austere and linear form. It is restrained but soft and savoury with leaf and cedar tones; surely quite close to its peak.
