Community Tasting Note

Sunday, April 6, 2014 - CVNE vs La Rioja Alta faceoff (Chez Mas): Quite a dark colour in the glass. Considering it's 20 years old, surprisingly so.

On the nose it was fairly unanimously commented upon that it could best be described as "muted", with several comments related to the aged-smell.. Raspberries and slight vanilla with a hint of creme brulee.

Again, the palate was universally described as quite drying, yet smooth. Restrained, not fruity, well aged, a full mouth feel, with some strawberries but at the same time a fairly watery finish.

I was personally quite disappointed when this was revealed, as I'd been looking forward with much anticipation to tasting this wine. Good, but certainly not great.
