Tasting notes
Highly representative of classic Rioja Alta wines. Ruby red with a tawny rim, brilliant. Elegant on the nose, well-blended aromas with hints of wood ageing and varietal notes. Very fine and well-structured in the mounth, with good acidity and polished tannins, very well balanced. Complex retronasal fragrance, both delicate and persistent. Good development in the bottle.
