Bought 6b for 14/b from a local independent shop 10 years ago. Solid cork. Decanted with normal sediment for its age. Medium dark purple; very mature red plums that follow on the palate, good mouthfeel. Enjoyable but a little past its prime. Stored horizontally in a cool, dark basement since purchase. Quality, price, age: Notable.

Still drinking perfectly. nose almost amarone rich, smooth and just gorgeous Rivera, rich red fruits perfectly showing their age. Still good acidity and tannin.

Not flawed, I think it's just cooked. Shame, it was so good in its day.

Definitely past its prime. Opened up nicely but too much dried fruit for my taste. Ramon's are very pronounced.
