Top Notes For
Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 80% Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha, rest Graciano and Mazuelo, aged 5 years in American oak, deep Ruby with aromas of ripe jammy fruits, spice and tobacco notes, resulting from a warm dry growing season. On the palate flavors of ripe plum, blueberry and ripe cherry with spice, tobacco and cedar notes. Fine big rustic tannins, long finish, savory ending with tobacco and leather notes. Nice!

2013 vintage. Agree with many of the posters on here. Very solid for the price but unspectacular. Pretty fruit notes with plenty of structure and balance. Would purchase again.

Very earthy, bloody, not too heavy but a lot of complexity

For a “ baby” Rioja from LdH this delivers. Smoky cherries, some American oak, tarry goodness. Still light on it’s feet and refreshingly crisp.
A great nose and a decent finish.
Great w crispy pig’s ears @ CasaMono.
Thanks Matt @ CasaMono
