Wine Spectator - Jul 31, 2019 - Thomas Matthews - Rioja Orben 2016 - 95/100 - $32
This big red has a muscular structure, but the flavors are finely detailed, with black cherry, leafy, licorice and smoke notes mingling over sturdy tannins. Harmonious, showing depth and elegance. Best from 2020 through 2030. 2,486 cases made, 500 cases imported. — TM</p>

Impressive, polished and composed nose with an array of blueberries, blackberries and plums. The palate has a very composed core of fine, taut tannins that really deliver into the impressive, long and fresh finish. Great wine. Drink in 2020.
