Light cherry / brick with a touch of amber at rim. Glorious nose of sour berry fruit and nicely integrated oak. The fruit is mixed with robust leather and is just a tad short. Perfectly mature yet drink up. A beautiful old Rioja. (91)

This just didn't have the stuffing left in it. While it had a nice nose and correct upfront taste profile, the finish was ever so thin and short. Disappointing, but haven't been disappointed in a long time by older lopez, so chalk one up to the odds finally hit.

This needed some air to come around, but not much. Everything I love in Heredia wines - old sweaty leather, tobacco, and dark fruits mixed together in a glass of happiness. Not as powerful as some of the epic vintages but still very much worth the experience.

Marshmallow, toasty aromas. Silky texture, really pure. A pretty wine with serious depth.

Drank young. Light. Smokey. Not a profound wine but quite good and interesting. Decant next time but only for 30 minutes.
