"A fresh rosé, displaying flavors of raspberry, fig, tangy cherry and smoke, with well-integrated acidity. Focused and harmonious, with a spiced, lip-smacking finish."

"It reveals copious aromas of raspberry jam, black currants, kirsch, flowers and forest floor, full body, terrific fruit, lots of complexity already, and a multidimensional mouthfeel."-Robert Parker

"Plummy nose, with some savory tobacco suggestions swirling in the background. On the palate the taste of black raspberries and cherries laced with chocolate and espresso, with just a hint of tannic grip on the finish. Mouth-filling and voluminous, this wine is all about sensuous curves--but possesses a fine bone structure to age gracefully for at least a few years. And lots of flavor to burn."

"The wine aromas open up to blackberry and cassis with a hint of cedar in the background. The wine has a rich entry, which leads to a full mid-palate and a long, soft finish. The flavors mimic that of the aroma with dark fruit and a hint of chocolate on the finish."

"It has a mellow bouquet of dried herbs, terracotta tiles and dusky black fruit that is very well-defined. The palate is medium-bodied with fine tannin: tart red berried fruit, laced with tobacco and dried herbs on the dry, crisp finish. This is a superb classical Rioja Crianza."

"Vibrant pale green straw. Attractive, tropical and white peach aromas with undertones of honeysuckle and lemon. Light and refreshing on the palate, the wine is vibrant with sherbet like flavours. The delicate “frizzante” style is balanced with lively and soft fruit sweetness."
