Gary Walsh - The Wine Front
60% Tempranillo and 40% Grenache. Aged in second and third fill barriques. From old bush-trained vineyards in the most elevated areas of Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa.
Svelte, supple, balanced. Cherry and strawberry, slight earthiness, discreet spicy oak, tobacco, a little cola and mint. It flows along, has gentle grip, freshness, and a nutty cherry finish of excellent length. So charming. Really good.

Zekun Shuai - JamesSuckling.com
Dark spices, tar, fresh blackberries, tamarind, bitter oranges and dark minerals. Quite unique and spicy but so fresh, with lean, firm tannins that render a nice touch of austerity. Medium-bodied, fine-boned and long.
