Community Tasting Note

89 Points
Wednesday, August 26, 2015 - To be honest we expected a lot more from this wine and could well be a function of youth and hence it has not developed yet. Light sweet notes, coffee, chocolate, ripe , decent acidity but a bit uninspiring at this stage. Good wine but no music here . 89

For inspiration try 2005...this one is a completely different, austere vintage that can age gracefully but, as you said, it is not too much expressive at this stage.
Cheers!

Hmmmm also for GR? Well it is pretty obvious we've different points of view about when to open Rioja.
This summer I am drinking some well-aged bottles. What an unique experience!
Cheers!
