In the mouth, this wine is complex, with sweet tannins that envelop the palate and cover it with an exquisite roundness. Long lasting and persistent, it is a wine that opens itself up slowly to the senses as one tastes it.

From the breathtakingly beautifully presentation, to its getting to 28 points of color, with or without its gold flakes, it easy to see why this wine was awarded the best wine in Rioja for 2008.
