Critic reviews
"Very rich nose, dried prunes, raisins, black chocolate, some espresso notes too with red flowers - highly expressive. Rich and concentrated with lots of structure on show, still a little bit tight, but lovely fine tannins and a gorgeous concentrated strawberry and red cherry element. Touches of spice around the edges. Juicy and supple, this needs time to soften and expand but it has excellent mouthwatering acidity which keeps things lifted and moving, with the structure keeping the mouthfeel and power in the back. Lovely potential."

"(Rioja DOC; 100% Tempranillo sourced entirely from one of Marqués de Riscal’s best vineyard plots, the Finca Las Tapias; 15% alcohol). Gloriously inviting aromatically, with radiant herb-tinged dark berry fruits and an almost wild mountain heathery note combining so well with the mixed dry spices and black and rose peppercorns. There’s a little plum stone too and walnut shell. The tannins are incredibly gracious on the entry, but they gain in granularity as the wine evolves over the palate. There’s a lot of wine in this bottle! Indeed, it’s something of a baby monster with incredible aging potential. It really needs to be found its place in the coolest, darkest corner of the cellar and left for at least a couple of decades to reveal all of its glories. It’s going to be extraordinary but I don’t think I’ll be around to see it at its best."
