Lovely with Thanksgiving repast. Classic Rioja notes still. Dill is softer and perhaps a bit past prime? Still, quite drinkable. Note similar to earlier. Will last but probably not improve. So, reservas can go 20 years, in case anyone is asking. :-)

My last bottle, and on what I think is a long drinking plateau. Very, very good. Perhaps fruitier than most other "traditional" Rioja, commendable balance, well-integrated but appropriately present American oak. I never tasted the 2001 Gran Reserva but can't imagine it's better than this.

Prominent acids. Sour cherry. Rounded texture. Not especially complex at this stage.

Still drinking nicely but at the end of its window. Last of a case. Quite serviceable.
