  Wine Education Service - Rioja (Imperial College): Light with a brown rim.
  Very interesting nose, some fruit.
  Beautiful balance, lovely and exciting mid palate, very long.

  Great mature Rioja. Taste like a really good Bourgogne. I mean a really good one, not the lemonade kind!

  Very bourgogne-like, was probably better 10 years ago.

  Intensity in a bottle.
  
  Transparent red with only slight bricking.
  Nose: Muted dill and mature aromas towards dried wood, hints of cedar and spice-box and a brittle mineral tone. Outstanding nose.
  Mouth: Blinded, I'd have sworn this was a DELICIOUS Bgn with some age to it. Happy red fruits with dried fruit on top and a small spicyness. Elegant yet powerfully intense and deceptionally light. Fine transparency, wet-stones minerality, completely molten tannins and M++ acids that happily married the plates. Oak treatment remains fine tuned and completely integrated.
  
  This wine sang!
  Not quite a typical traddo Rioja in style.
  I really liked it.
  
  Wife: [like a poor Bgn]
  At stunning L'Effervescence with Matlen and Wife.
