August 6, 2023 - Drank at Copake last week. Shocked how well this wine has held up. Obviously showing signs of its age, but youthful aromas of cherries, spice and herbs. Same notes on the palate, along with some remaining oak and vibrant acidity. Lots of sediment here, so worth decanting for that reason alone. Hoping I still have another one of these lying around.

October 2, 2021 - Really a beautiful aged Rioja that's still youthful and with a bit of vanilla oak left to resolve. Delicious black cherry fruit with a fine floral quality that gives way to a complex finish with notes of vanilla, black spices and a hint of mint. This is aging quite well. 92+

September 25, 2021 - "This is a wine I imagine people make in prison" (Chicago, IL): Clearly a nose of American oak, but without that polish that you get from La Rioja Alta. There's a little bit of sweat here as well, something that I sometimes confuse with TCA (lots of Rioja smells corked to me). The palate is quite compelling though; the fruit is silky and still young, with a slight vanilla sweetness that is counterbalanced by more of the earthy tones. Very good depth and complexity; I liked this very much.
