From Wine Orbit in New Zealand – where it earned their top five-star rating, as one of their top Riojas ever:
Beautifully styled and immediately appealing, the wine shows dark plum, olive, smoked game and roasted nut aromas on the nose. The palate displays soothing mouthfeel and lovely weight, splendidly complemented by supple texture and fine, polished tannins, making it comforting and fabulously drinkable.
