James Suckling 92
"Sweet blackberry, blueberry and bark aromas follow through to a full body with a compact palate of medium, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drinkable now, but better with a year of bottle age."-JS

Vinous 90
Dark ruby. Oak-spiced cherry and blackberry scents are complemented by suggestions of pipe tobacco and mocha. Fleshy and seamless in the mouth, offering juicy red and fruit and floral pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. In an accessible, open-knit style, finishing long and smooth, with even tannin's sneaking in late. Drinking window: 2021 - 2028-VM

"Nice depth with a luminous sparkle. A bouquet of fine notes of toasted wood and spices, combined with red candied fruit on a licorice base. Full-bodied on the palate with a background of ripe fruit and smooth elegant tannins. A long silky aftertaste."-Winemaker Notes

"In 1970, Enrique Forner founded Marqus de Cceres Unin Vitivincola S.A., a historic alliance of growers in the village of Cenicero in the Rioja Alta subregion of Rioja. The enterprising Forner family has been devoted to the wine trade for five generations. Their search for the best vine growers and vineyards in Rioja and the introduction of a Bordeaux concept revolutionized the production and business model of the region. They work with one single objective: producing the highest quality wines. Today this obsession continues to be the leitmotif of Cristina Forner, the fifth generation of this distinguished wine family."-Winery Notes
