This wine is consistently good. My favorite is the 2009, followed by 2010, but this 2011 holds its own. Fruit forward and smooth finish as always. Be careful- it’s hard to only drink 1 bottle.

A solid Rioja - not the most amazing I drank but with some air quite harmonious . What I like is that they sell it in half-bottles...

Holy oak!! Massive oak and vanilla on the nose and throughout the palate. Was balanced at times but also had some heat, which was surprising as it’s listed at 13.5% OH. I enjoyed it @ £26!
