What a pity this isn't your cup of tea, your fruity scented cup of tea...
You're absolutely right, after ten years in old barrels, after almost 20 years from harvest, this wine was ready to consume according with LdH standards. What a shame!
Even more, one of this unique bottles went to your store and you decided to buy it...so funny! Your bottle, on the other hand, seemed to be on form.
Pretty sure you know where Tempranillo is hiding its aromas...
Sincerely if you can't feel what is happening with this special kind of Rioja, remember only 8.500 75cl bottles, I think it would be better to waste your time, money even, out of here.
Cheers!
