A new vintage, the 2010 was rated: Robert Parker 90+/100
A true concentrate of pleasure, with exceptional value for money, this Rioja is the product of a Frenchman, Tom Puyaubert, who has been living in Spain for 10 years. A wine that reflects the strength and richness of Rioja, with its blend of Grenache, Tempranillo and Graciano. Robert Parker says of this winemaker "the three new Exopto cuvées are all extraordinary...".
