R. Parker (92/100)
The juicy, creamy and fresh 2020 Orben is in the process of getting organic certification. It's Tempranillo from different plots in the Rioja Alavesa, each fermented separately with indigenous yeasts, since 2020 with some stems, and matured in Darnajou and Taransaud barrels, 50% new and 50% second-use, for 14 months. It's ripe without excess, with 14.54% alcohol, power and concentration coupled with freshness and balance.
