The Wine Advocate
The saturated purple 2006 Pujanza Norte, sourced from the 2.2-hectare El Norte vineyard, spent 18 months in 100% new French oak. It sports an expressive bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, mineral, scorched earth, black cherry, and blackberry. Dense, layered, and mouth-filling, this large-scaled, muscular Rioja demands 5-7 years of cellaring and will have a drinking window extending from 2015 to 2036.
