"Aromas of spiced plums and blackberries with hints of sweet tobacco, dark chocolate and cured meat. Medium-to full-bodied with chewy tannins, notes of sweet spices and luscious fruit character. 100% tempranillo. Vegan. Drink or hold."
Ian D'Agata's Terroir Sense, Oct/2022

"Good deep red-ruby. Lively aromas of cassis, licorice and graphite. Lush and sweet but with good definition and lift to the flavours of blackberry, coffee and mocha. The juicy, long finish features smooth, sweet tannins that nicely frame the plush fruit on the long satisfying spicy aftertaste. Made with Tempranillo, this is another great wine buy from Bodegas Tridente as the quality in the bottle is that of what should be a much more expensive wine. Drinking window: 2022-2026."

"A little volatile with lots of ripe fruit and hints of wood. Blackberries, too. Full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. Potentially great with red meat. Drink now."

"Made in northwestern Spain's Castilla y Leon region, this is a chunky, big interpretation of tempranillo, with smooth, supple texture and rich flavours of plum sauce and espresso macchiato along with licorice. Ideal for roasted or grilled red meats. Accessible now, this bargain could improve with up to five years in the cellar."

Top 100 Wines of 2017 "Muscular, sumptuous, ponderous. By Juan Gil, this wine hails from within Castilla Y Leon, in Zamora (southeastern Spain)and the grapes for this Tempranillo grown in poor, sandy oils. It is a muscular and brooding style; sunbaked red fruits, toasted spices and grilled meat, iodine, leather and some undertones of dried herbs and dark cocoa. The palate is sweet and sumptuous and more expressive than its ponderous nose. Overall good balance and freshness with upright structure and ripe but chewy tannins."
Antonio Galloni's Vinous, Jan/2016

"Bright violet. Smoke-accented aromas of ripe cherry, blueberry, licorice and allspice, with a subtle mocha quality emerging slowly. Sweet, broad and smoky on the palate, offering concentrated dark berry and cherry-cola flavors and repeating smokiness. A sweet, persistent finish is firmed by smooth, late-arriving tannins that fold smoothly into the wine's plush dark fruit. After fermentation in stainless steel tanks this wine was aged in new and used French oak barrels for six months."
