  I just had a glass of the ‘01 Pora, and while this is similar, the Rio Sordo has a more prominent sweet & sour cherry taste that I find pretty appealing. Really coats the palate, with just a bit of unresolved tannin on the finish. On opening, I have a slight preference for this wine.
  
  With the pasta, my wife also preferred this wine - more complexity and nuance than the Poro.

  This may well be past it’s prime, but is my only bottle and still enjoyable significant acidity but not at all off putting, nose has a bit of funk but is pkeasant. Dark cherry fruit flavors with a long finish. Really good if not great. Drink up

  This was nice but perhaps a bit past peak. Very stinky nose (in a good way), ripe fruit though not jammy, amazing acidity. Tannins are resolved. Blind tasters almost unanimously thought it was a Burgundy.

  Last bottle of Rio Sordo 2021 for me. Happy it was the last one. Cork was perfectly sealing the wine. Color is now trending towards old nuances. Earthy notes in the nose, very well balanced tannins. My view: probably already passed its top.

  Tim's. Surprisingly tight. Believe this was decanted in advance, too.
