Amazingly still full- bodied and bright. Some brown tinge but very deep garnet. Heavy sediment and brittle cork, miraculously removed with an ah-so. The nose is luscious - spicy, complex and only enhancing with open time. Pallet is past prime - molasses, tobacco, blackberry. A regal rioja from the Marquis. Rated in honor of it's age.

Last call. Held up well (temp-controlled). Not much of a departure from the 2020 tasting other than a very brittle cork and sediment. This was one to remember.
