Jesus Madrazo is a legendary name in Rioja with an impressive CV that includes winemaker at CVNE, and he has an enviable list of contacts and friends. The fruit here is sourced from one such friend, and offers a sweet, high-toned, slightly wild nose of blue fruits, coal tar, and soft cassis. The palate plays on that wildness, has a traditional feel, and ebbs from sweet-edged fragrant red fruits to something stimulating, savoury and leathery, and mineral. A proper, contemplative Rioja to take your time over.
