October 24, 2015 - An impressive and composed wine with lovely complex aromas of earthy clovey, smokey, slightly figgy blackberries, raspberries and some cherries aromas. Has a medium bodied dense and four square plush palate with very good concentration and lively acidity on the attack and plump middle. Ends medium length and zingy.

March 21, 2014 - Cork not in great shape -- started to crumble -- but I managed to extract it. Wine is very good, consistent with prior tastings, very nice aged Rioja.

October 20, 2012 - Checked into this after about a year -- bottle variation is the theme for this wine. This bottle was very nice; others have been thin and missing fruit. Required about 20 minutes for the fruit to develop. Reasonable structure, cherries, a bit dry. But quite nice.

December 25, 2011 - I had given up on this wine after several faded bottles. Opened this one to cook with and turned out to be a great surprise. Nice aroma, well structured, fruit present but not overwhelming. Medium-bodied, a bit hollow on the finish. My expectations were low and this one outperformed! Still have a few bottles left and will check into them over the next 6 months......experience overall has been considerable bottle variation.
