91 points Tim Atkin, MW: "(14%) Gonzalo and Ramón de Ayala make this impressive blend of Tempranillo and 10% Graciano with grapes from Briñas and Labastida. The mixed French and American oak barrels add some spice and toast to a palate that's modern, focused and well-structured, with the dark-fruited concentration to age further. 2024-29. (2023)"
90% Tempranillo and 10% Graciano from 40+ year old vines. Velvety and silky on the palate with an acidity that conveys life. Powerful, elegant structure and good aftertaste that leaves an impression of dark fruit and balsamic touches. Very long and persistent finish.
