Wonderful cocktail of wood, acidity and alcohol without any length, contrary to the opinion of the critics, who must have received a few suitcases of dollars to perfect their rating.

Note and review by M. CLAUDE P. Published on 05/02/2018
Big disappointment with this Rioja! Lacking roundness, probably too young, with an acidic/sour length. Same observation from bottle to bottle. Nothing spectacular. Disappointing.
