Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 27, 2010 - Loved this wine - tasted blind in a flight with 3 other "old-world" reds. This was a touch better than the '82 Chateau La Lagune and way better than an '05 Bordeaux (Chateau Peyraud). Classic old school Rioja. Very light red color - showing it's age. Apricots, burnt oak, licorice, spice box on nose. On palate, dried red fruits, red licorice, - very rich acidity and a very long finish - I can still recall the taste 24 hours later - this is one of the best wines that I have ever had - cork was soaked through but the wine was still in great condition - wine of the night. Don't have enough experience to truly describe this wine - 94+ for me.
