My first experience with a Rioja with a bit of age. The wine was gorgeous, very pure. Impeccable balance. great texture. Very Burgundian. Has another 20 years of life--I think it will be at it's peak in 10.

Despite the recent not by UTPK, I must say that this wine is a good 10 years from it's prime drinking window. Powerful even after being open for 3 nights. I do get the "petrol" coming out, but I also got plenty of nice riesling fruit. Really nice stuff.
