Notes : Robert Parker 92+/100, Wine Spectator 91/100
The Bodega's know-how combined with a year of exceptional weather conditions in Rioja have led to the creation of this great Manuel Quintano vintage. Complex, with aromas of ripe fruit and tobacco, and notes of cinnamon and spices on aeration, with a fine presence of tannins on the palate and, above all, plenty of freshness for a delicious, long finish. Superb!
