Wine Enthusiast (92)Deep, sweet dark-cherry fruit forms a solid foundation for this impressive wine. There's a touch of menthol oak on the nose; plenty of leather and earth accents in the mouth, coupled with good acidity, keep the palate complex and lively. Finishes long, with full—but not harsh—tannins. Editors' Choice. |

Vinous (90)Ruby-red. Wild, meaty aromas of dried red fruits, floral oils, pipe tobacco and cured meat. Smooth, appealingly sweet and smoky, offering redcurrant and cherry flavors and a hint of candied rose. Notes of vanilla and mocha carry through a long, smooth finish, which shows just a whisper of tannins. Decidedly old-school; fans of the type will likely find my score low. |

Decanter (97)Faustino (founded 1860) with its iconic frosted bottles and portrait labels is one of Rioja's most easily recognised brands. It's a family business based in Oyon in Rioja Alavesa, and the largest private holder of vineyards in Rioja, spread across the region. The style of the Rioja is as classic as the packaging look for the sweet, vanilla notes of American oak, plenty of bright cherry fruit, and a fine, delicate palate. For those interested in tasting great old Riojas, Faustino is one company that still releases older vintages going as far back as 1970. Among the other wineries it owns is Portia in Ribera del Duero. Pedro Ballesteros MW Deliciously decadent, with extraordinary vitality on the palate and a long, unique finish. A jewel at this price. Ben Henshaw Complex nose, quite grippy but fresh and moreish. A touch dry, but amazing fruit. Classy, complex and long. Annette Scarfe MW A more restrained, mineral style with elegant tannins. Youthful, feminine and complex with a long length. A classic Rioja that is still fresh after 12 years, with more to come. |

James Suckling (94)A juicy and chewy red with dried berry and cherry character. Hints of roasted seaweed. Medium to full body. Flavorful finish. Still vivid and balanced. Drink now but has a long life ahead, too. |

Vinous (93)Deep, amber-rimmed red. Red fruit compote, candied rose, coconut, incense and smoky mineral qualities on the nose, along with a building suggestion of baking spices. Offers sweet, penetrating raspberry, cherry liqueur, spicecake and rose pastille and chewing tobacco flavors that show very good depth and energy. Supple, expansive and appealingly sweet on the finish, which features harmonious tannins and resonating floral and spice notes. |
