Rating: Robert Parker 90+/100
"Horizonte de Exopto 2008 is composed of 65% Tempranillo, 20% Graziano and 15% Grenache aged 10 months in French and American oak barrels. A deep ruby color, it offers notes of Asian spice, incense, mineral, leather, a hint of balsamic and an assortment of black fruits. Spicy, savory and very complex on the palate..." (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate June 2011). A must-have!
