#32 of the Best 50 Wines of 2023

94pts VinePair

Great balance between oak and fruit with a grippy edge.

93pts James Suckling

A bright, neoclassic Rioja with refined balsamic fruit, cocoa powder, savory tobacco leaf and a hint of cigar box. A medium-to full-bodied red with tight and chalky tannins and an excellent, layered finish.
