Aged for 27 months in American oak barrels, giving rise to a fruity, balsamic wine with a touch of minerality and dense tannins which are characteristic of the wines made in the region of Roa in Burgos.
James Suckling (92 points) - Plenty of pine cone, hazelnut and sweet vanilla spices to the minty blackberries and red fruit. Juicy and tight on the palate with a medium to full body and a tightly wound, lengthy finish. Vanilla and coconut at the end. A lot of wood here, but it will come around in a few years after the wood tannins integrate more.
Decanter (91 points) - Beautiful cedar, incense, floral and dark fruit bouquet; the texture and mouthfeel is great, the concentration and long finish both noteworthy, too. Great ageing potential.
