92/100
Robert Parker
"Astrales 2011 is a pure Tempranillo from different plots, mainly from Anguix (Burgos), which has been aged for 22 months in oak barrels, mainly oaked. It has a creamy nose with aromas of wild berries and spicy oak. Medium-bodied on the palate, with abundant, well-presented tannins, it is powerful and concentrated, with lovely woody flavors. Rather dry on the finish, it will be better in a few years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)
