Delightful salmon-pink colour captures attention along with a fragrant nose of strawberry pie, spice and lemon curd. Tautly textured on the palate, while bursting with bright red cherry flavour. Tasty cinnamon-stick spice on the long finish. Delicious with smoked salmon.
Opens with fresh scents of apple, lemon and toasty almond. The lively palate delivers crisp apple, juicy stone fruits, and candied lemon peel. Finishes clean and refreshing, so goes down easy. An ideal aperitif bubbly given its style, and especially so given its price.
Delicate red berry fruit on the nose shifts towards darker fruit character on the palate. Texture is refined and velvety with gentle, supple tannins and harmonious balance throughout. A pleasing wine from a less than stellar year in Rioja.
Blackberry fruit and a whiff of spice on the nose, with fleshy, elegant fruit in the mouth together with a hint of cinnamon, lightly firm tannins and warm rounded mouth feel. A stylish effort from a difficult vintage.
Elegant bouquet reveals fine fruit and developed vinosity with house-style harmony and balance, good structure, a touch of chocolate, spice and a deft trace of oak on the finish. Will benefit from more aging.
Exhibits more red berry than the darker fruit characteristics shown by the previous vintage, but is similarly well balanced and harmonious. Rioja style at an exceptional price.
Interesting, rather complex nose shows developed fruit and a dusting of fine spice. Developed red fruit, softening tannins and a touch of mocha on the palate, with velvety texture and a lightly astringent finish. Not typical of Rioja, but characterful and good value.
