Pedro Ballesteros MW

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Ripe sweet fruit in nose; warm open expression, a bit heady.

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Developed aromas. A bit dead in the palate. Dry finish.

Annette Scarfe MW

Tasting: Under 20 Rioja

Concentrated with lovely aromatics – violets and blueberries with fresh, inviting acidity. Delicate use of oak. Mineral, leaner style.
