Community Tasting Note

Monday, March 18, 2024 - From magnum. This is a modern Rioja with an international style. While it might not be for old-school Rioja lovers, it is without doubt a very fine, highly complex and in no category over-the-top wine. The 2010 has beautifully aged and shows some first tertiary development but I guess this will reach its peak only in another 10 to 20 years, it certainly has the structure to age beautifully.

TN: Expressive ripe dark and bright red berries, menthol notes, a touch of brett, lots of crushed rocks. On the palate expressive dark berries, red fruit, some blue fruit, herbs and menthol, hints pf brett, first mushroom and leather notes. With time fine strawberries and strawberry candy. Modern but with a beautiful elegance and airiness you wouldn’t expect from this wine.

Decanting: This doesn’t need much air to open up. A short decant should be sufficient.
