A traditional Rioja, very soft and complex, still very fresh after 15 years in the cellar. It is wonderful to see how the Riojas and specially tempranillo are able to hold the time without oxydation. Better at cellar temperature.

A wonderful wine, 10 years old, original and ripe. Intense gold color. Creamy in the glass. Nose: walnut, caramel, mango. In the mouth: creamy, a little residual sugar, tastes like a dry Sauternes (botrytis), moscato, honey, mango. Complex. Intense, long and a bit toasty. Delicious.

Bought in 1999 in Quebec city, tasted in 2020, this wonderful wine ha 23 years in my cellar, added to the years before bottling... Caramel colored, wonderful mix of savors: nuts, spice cake, ginger, fig, date, cinnamon. very intense and very long aftertaste. Complex. Sweet, but not too much. Delicious with blue cheese, foie gras and...alone. I just bought 4 new bottles. Wait after it even if it is 20 years of age. It is worth waiting.
