"I tasted six vintages of a red blend produced with 50% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, and the rest Vidau (an old field blend where Garnacha dominates but there's also Tempranillo and Graciano), the youngest of which was the 2015 Vinsacro. It fermented in stainless steel vats with indigenous yeasts and matured in new French (80%) and American (20%) oak barrels for 18 months, during which time the wine was racked four times. It's ripe, heady, toasty and exuberant. The palate is medium to full-bodied with dusty tannins, lacking a bit in the middle. 24,000 bottles produced. - Luis Gutiérrez"

"Appealing red jammy fruit on the nose, with elegant toasty notes of coffee and oak. Fresh and fruit-focused, with a refreshing acidity and ripe round tannins. - Panel Tasting (
"The 2015 Vinsacro is a blend of 50% Tempranillo, 40% Vidau (field blend) and 10% Mazuelo from Monte Yerga in Rioja Oriental. Displaying a garnet color, it embodies a matured character with fisaron, dried plums, figs and dried flowers over a light oak and soy sauce layer. Dry and intense, the silky texture is made slightly rougher by reactive, fine-grained tannins. The Vinsacro is a complex, evolved wine that still retains its youthful vigor. - Joaquín HIDALGO"
