A serious, intense, complex Rioja from Benjamin Romeo, which is simultaneously fresh and pure.
This is a jet-shot plum ruby in colour, almost opaque. The nose is lovely, very pure, a melange of red fruit, bramble and black cherry which achieve a crescendo of freshness and vitality - enticing. The palate is orchestral in its complexity - vivid high notes of pure fruit allied to darker, brooding savoury elements, all punctuated by minerals and herbs. Powerful and harmonious, supported by deft, sprightly tannins, this is liquid decadence - a beautiful wine which is tempting even in this embryonic state but, having had the unique opportunity to taste a vertical, from 2001 through to 2009, it is clear that this will age beautifully. Just 5500 bottles were produced from 1kg of grapes per vine.
