  Excellent. I am new to riojas - but the structure just terrific. Definitely young. Will try another bottle next year.

  My selection for the monthly CWG. Double decanted for 1 hour and started consuming about 1:30 later.
  
  The blind testers said older Napa Cabernet (2007, 2010) and others said Spanish Tempranillo but were off with the year.
  
  The wine is medium plus body, firm round tannins, good acidity and structure. The mid palate is dark and earthy, finish is great and long.
  
  This wine has a lot of upside in the next 3-5 years and should stay at the top of its game until 2035 or beyond…
  
  92+ drink or hold.

  Decant for 5 hours - so smooth and very complex. Love the hint of cherry at the end.

  Drank this at a wine dinner with my wine mates at Kam Boat Teochew Restaurant. Theme of the evening: Wines that start with the letter Y.
  
  Beautiful wine bloomed and blossomed throughout the evening. Drinking wonderfully through the dinner. Kept this as the last red wine as a special highlight.
