Saturday, March 2, 2013 - Very Good/Excellent – clear light garnet with brown/orange edges on the rim; fabulous nose – red fruit; an aroma that I have seen described as orange peel but not sure that fully describes it; off-dry; light body; low acidity; soft low tannins; mid length finish; very mellow; lovely soft raspberries; very burgundian in nature; lovely soft finish – stunning. Not had much experience of truly mature rioja (previous best 10-15 year old bottles) before but will be coming back for more. Decanted 30 mins before drinking over 2 hours. Improved on air. Partnered very well Herb crusted Rack of Lamb and a red wine and rosemary sauce with Dauphinoise Potatoes and Mixed Vegetables
