  Snacking with Kirin beer. Pnp before lunch. A quarter of cork soaked. Crystal ruby colour with a violet halo. Firm keeper of this particular vintage, muted on the nose and shaped on the palate with a serious acid after eighteen years. Tasty, fresh
  What else can I say? It is not a question of decanting, in spite that recommendation on the back label, of this bottle but understand the vintage and winemaker methods. Notes of rotten rose petals, flesh, salty and clearly earthy on the nose. Plenty of 2004 character strawberries are at the back. Silky-smooth textured, good acidity, less than decent persistence, foolish aftertaste. Last glass the most ordinary.
  Definitively can't be compared with Ardanza or with Franco-Españolas even, from the same year. Requires food urgently. One magnum remining as 2005 harvest.
  
  Aperitivando con cerveza Kirin. Abierta y servida antes del almuerzo. Un cuarto de corcho empapado. Color rubí de cristal con un halo violáceo. Firme guardián de esta particular añada, silenciada en nariz y moldeada en el paladar con una sería acidez después de dieciocho años. Sabroso, fresco ¿qué más puedo decir? No se trata de decantar, a pesar de la recomendación en la etiqueta posterior, de esta botella, salvo entender los métodos de vendimia y al enólogo. Notas de pétalos de rosa podridos, carne, saladita y claramente terrosa en nariz. Imbuido del carácter del 2004, las fresas están al fondo. Textura sedosa, buena acidez, algo menos de una persistencia decente, regusto tontorrón. La última copa la más ordinaria.
  Definitivamente no se puede comparar con Ardanza ni siquiera con Franco-Españolas, a partir del mismo año. Requiere comida urgentemente. Me queda un magnum, al igual que con 2005.

  Gentle restrained flavours, fading cherry fruit, a bit of tobacco and spice, lovely now, and no rush.

  Dark red. Lots of glycerine. Initial impression is a lot of toasty American oak. With some swirling, the oak nose blows off. Harmonious in the mouth. Pretty seamless. Classic, traditional Rioja. Tasty.
