Very good modern style of Rioja with big fruit and good structure and balance between tannins and wood. I liked it so much that almost whole bottle was finished when my loved ones had a bath. Lenka returned after 30 min and looked at the bottle with 3/4 finished and could not beleive it was so quickly gone:) Interestingly I just checked the web and it got 91 in 2008 wine spectator issue here.
