My last bottle and I wish it were not. Still going very strong although clearly in its peak drinking window with maybe a couple more peak years left. Red and black fruits, some earthiness, very smooth.
A really big wine with an explosive nose. Unfortunately, although quite a solid Rioja, it was bigger and more complex on the nose than it was on the palate. The palate was a bit disjointed and awkward. Perhaps I caught this bottle at the wrong time.

Wonderful black and red fruits, Oak/cedar notes and some dried herbs. Smooth after 45 minutes in the decanter.
