Vista
Rojo rubí intenso, casi opaco en el centro — la concentración se ve antes incluso de oler el vino.
Nariz
Pronunciada: fruta negra madura (mora, ciruela) en primer plano y, detrás, especias y un roble muy bien encajado tras 18 meses de barrica. Fíjate en el fondo mineral que asoma con el aireo.
Boca
Seco y de cuerpo pleno: taninos firmes pero maduros, acidez media-alta que sostiene el conjunto y un final largo con recuerdo especiado.
En resumen
El Rioja moderno de Benjamín Romeo con 94 puntos Parker. Pide brasa: chuletón, guisos de caza o un queso bien curado.
