By Josh Raynolds
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jul/Aug 07
"(95% tempranillo and 5% garnacha) Youthful purple. Spicy cherry and dark chocolate aromas are underscored by zesty minerals and orange zest. Sweet raspberry and kirsch flavors are impressively pure and deep, showing an energetic personality. Gains sweetness on the long, spicy finish. This outstanding value offers the complexity of wines costing much more. 90 points."

"This consistently fine wine is a winner once again in 2005. Dark and quite rich, it is impressively concentrated, with delicious fruit recalling black cherries and plums. Perfectly ripened, it is soft and round but still structured by fine-grained tannins, which a restrained dose of oak." 89 pts, Wine Review Online, Issue 0735, August 28, '07
