6.240 bottles (75 cl)

92 – Wine Enthusiast – “The top of the range at Cortes de Cima and deservedly so. The wine is finely structured, with a feeling of restrained power. It has all the right elements of red plum, dry, dark tannins and prominent acidity, all in balance.”

90 ‐ Robert Parker – “It is a lovely wine, seductive and caressing on the palate, graceful, focused and lingering, with reasonably ripe tannins….a wine that slithers over the mid-palate and seems quite enticing, elegant and ethereal.”
