  Immer noch ein toller Wein. Deutlich Holz und Zitrusfrüchte. frisch. Zu Meeresfrüchten oder Paella.

  Robe jaune dorée. Aromes de vanille, boisé, miel, noisette et rancio. Vin rond et légèrement oxydé. Le nez est très représentatif de ce qu’on retrouve en bouche. Vin avec une certaine complexité, par contre un peu sur l’eau.

  3 bottles in a row a bad. Suffering from premox (premature oxidation). I had a 2008 that was bad as well. Wine was not drinkable from any of them. I have 2 bottles left from a case that was stored in pristine conditions. Maybe (hopefully) they will be better.

  From 75cl, perfect cork. Very oaky, of course, with an additional almost pine-resin-like pungency on the nose. The greatness of this wine lies in its extraordinary texture. Superb creamy entry with candied lemon mid-palate, some very refined pine-needle forest action on the mid-palate and a brilliant multi-layered finish where the smoothness of the entry finally crystallizes out into something almost like licking stones (not slate, not minerals, but good old-fashioned County Antrim stones). The label recommends serving at 15C, but we thought this tasted best at about 10C. A beautiful bottle, which has obviously profited from cellar time. Now-2018. 90P

  Significantly more developed (oxidized) that when tasted on pickup about 1.5 yrs ago. Lacking any freshness. Heavily sherried nose of white tree fruit -- especially baked pears. Initially sweet and oily. Midpalate is gross -- brown butter and windfallen/rotting pears. Sweet, cloying, one-dimensional and sherried sweet pear finish. Lastly, nothing suggests this white Rioja is in a "dumb" or shut down phase; rather, it's declining and becoming more oxidized. A bit ticked off that I still have 4 more bottles. There is cheaper cooking wine, that's for sure.
