Plum, prune, caramel on the nose with typical Rioja barnyardness. The bottle was purchased from a wine store a couple years ago that said the purchased it direct from the winery when they purchased that years vintage. There was slight bricking and the color was muted. The palate was muted fruit with light hints of plum and spice. The finish was long and complex. Wish I bought more.

The nose had lots of oak on it, vanilla, maybe a slight pepper before fruit. I want to say slight wet stone and the internet tells me there is PV. On the nose I would say this wine is a mess however I really enjoy all of the items going on. It tastes sweet, with nice acidity and tannins. No determinable fruit. Luckily there is residual sweetness and tannins that lingers. 88 is high for this wine, maybe age has not been kind, but for the $13 I picked it on winebid a total score.
