Rating: Robert Parker 91/100
"The 2008 edition of Pieza el Caldero is composed of 96% Aragon and 4% Grenache, over 70 years old. It was aged for 12 months in American oak barrels before bottling without filtration. Slightly less exuberant than the Pieza el Coll (but also a little more complex), it offers greater density and structure, with ripe, succulent fruit. It should evolve for 1-2 years, and give great pleasure through 2018" (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker).

Note and review by M. MICHEL D. Published on 19/09/2014
An interesting wine from average terroirs, but full-bodied and quite deep, with animal notes.

The wood is a little present, but there's plenty of substance and complexity. Unbeatable value for money.

Powerful and alcoholic. Lacks finesse.

Note and review by M. NICOLAS B. Published on 06/01/2014
A very pleasant surprise for this wine. It won't please everyone with its very woody, almost smoky notes. This wine is a perfect match for prime rib and strong cheeses, but in no way for mild, refined cuisine.

excellent wine that I did not know, very long in the mouth with a very pronounced bouquet of cinnamon and spices.
