Philippe Perreault rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

It's a blend mainly made of 85% Tempranillo completed by 10% Mazuelo (also know as Carignan) and 5% Graciano.

It's a Gran Reserva which means this wine has been aged 5 years (2 years in oak barrel and 3 years in bottle).

Deep garnet color with notes of black licorice, cedar, cinnamon, ripe red berries and tobacco.

It's a complex, aromatic and elegant wine with its soft tannins.

Perfect to match slow-cooked dishes such as Chorizo and chickpea stew or slow-cooked elk meatballs served on orzo.
Serve it between 15-17 degrees and don't forget to decanter this wine 30 minutes before sipping. Note this wine might contains sediments so when you poor in carafe, go slowly and use a candle to split the sediment from the wine.
Enjoyable now with a good meal but can be aged 8-10 years.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
