| Robert Parker 90 Points | The 2010 Hado is a pure Tempranillo from vines under 35-years of age that is raised over 12 months in French oak from 5 different coopers (one to four-year fill). It has an expressive nose with notes of wild strawberry, raspberry, chalk and pressed flowers, all with fine definition. The palate is crisp and pointed on the entry with tart red cherries, a touch of liquorice and a citric thread that runs from start to finish. There is fine tension in the wine and impressive length. This is a very commendable and expressive Rioja' |
| Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 90/100 | Deep ruby. Pungent cherry, plum and currant aromas are joined by suggestios of dried flowers, licorice and espresso. Deep and rich on the palate, with nicely concentrated red currant, cherry pit and bitter chocolate flavours. Supple tannins add shape to the sweet, broad, persistent finish. This is a new bottling for Pujanza and is meant to be drunk on the young side. |
