Very deep, cherry red colour with a vivid hue at the rim. As with good Bordeaux wines, it is somewhat closed to begin with. Smoked, spicy aromas (nutmeg, cinnamon) appear, with black liquorice, ripe red and black fruits (blueberries, blackcurrants) and balsamic notes, with very good intensity. Perfectly integrated oak. There is tension on the palate, great youthfulness and an outstanding creamy texture that fi lls the mouth. The tannins are lively, polished and very fi ne. Broad and long, meaty and structured, but elegant with great freshness and fruit on the finish.

95 Points - James Suckling

A slightly fruitier delivery of Marques de Riscal but there is still a savory edge to the fine vanilla oak with juicy plums and cherries, with some walnut and incense. Juicy and fleshy on the center palate with a medium to full body and a lengthy finish that lasts almost a minute. Drinkable now upon decanting or enjoy from 2025.
