Claramente riojano, el roble americano le delata. Típico Rioja con años en su mejor momento. Naranja, musgo, hollín..Para abrirlo con 5 horas de antelación. La boca es elegancia pura. Finura y concentración. Da pena hasta juntarlo con comida.

Full ruby, no orange at the rim. Elegant, sweet notions of strawberry, maraschino cherry, and oak spice. Medium-bodied, with above average acidity. Refreshing, flexible at the table. Thankfully, not cooked, given some of the notes here.

Lacks the delicacy and lift of the better Lopez de Heredia's I've had. Stewed cherries are the dominant flavor. First bottle of three was off, so these might be heat damaged.

Portugalia. Certainly, tasting a bit old, and far outshone by the 1994 Tondonia Gran Reserva
