Saturday, February 8, 2014 - Year 2; Tasting 2 of 5; Andrew does Rioja (1954-1994) (Red Room, Langdon Hall, Cambridge, Ontario): Popped and poured, followed approximately 2 hours. Garnet in the glass, with moderate bricking at the rim. An expressive nose of decaying red fruit, sandalwood, citrus zest, mushroom, decaying leaves, undergrowth, cured meat, dried herbs, leather, coriander, balsamic reduction, sweat and soy. On the palate, structurally, this is relatively light bodied, medium plus acidity and mostly integrated tannin, making this wine feel silky smooth. The finish is moderate, finishing a touch bitter, characterized by dried cranberry, spice, earth and dried herbs. This majestic beauty was seemingly quite stable, sitting in the glass for quite some time with no noticeable decline.
