''The 2025 release has bright aromas of strawberry and flowers, perfumed, aromatic, intoxicating but also light and fresh, open, clean and expressive. It's quite harmonious for its young age. It has a silky palate with velvety, unnoticeable tannins and is juicy, soft and tasty. This is a bargain to buy by the truckload and drink unashamedly. It's a textbook example of the category and among my favourite reds from Rioja year after year.'' 92 Points, Luis Gutierrez, Wine Advocate Magazine

''Classic Rioja. On the palate, it is supple and vibrant, carrying juicy fruit with a light chalky texture. Your new go to Rioja with identity and precision. Generous and fruit-driven, the finish lingers nicely. A very pure expression of Rioja.'' 91 Points, Vinous Media
