  El tapón estaba totalmente impregnado a pesar de lo cual conseguí sacarlo entero. No se decantó, sólo abierto y extraída una pequeña parte una hora antes del consumo, con lo cual se oxigenó correctamente. Color muy atejado y de capa media. Aroma intenso y vivo y además muy variado dada la edad del vino: tierra, trufa, hojarasca, fruta negra en mermelada y flores secas. En boca se muestra como lo que es, un auténtico Rioja clásico, acidez sorprendente para la edad, suavidad extrema, taninos redondos y limpios, llena la boca, mucho sabor, final largo en el que sobresale la flor seca y la tierra.
  
  Vino extremadamente elegante que a mi parecer se encuentra en un excelente momento del consumo y al que se le pueden dar tranquilamente 10 o 15 años más. Un placer encontrarse con cosas así de vez en cuando

  Great showing. Cork saturated but good fill. Pristine inside and played nice with the paella.

  Spain (Home): Reddish-brown. Nose with tea, slim fruit, and some spices. Nice structure, and decent concentration. Indeterminate taste, but some sour-sweet fruit. Over the top.

  decanted 90 minutes- caramel color- not oxidized on the nose, stone fruit compote; flavors match the nose, dried fruit character; med body, smooth finish.

  Liquor nose typical of the hot 1982, with Amarena cherry notes, big and powerful but more elegant after 5 min in the glass. The palate full, black cherry and red, good substance, powerful and big, with good acidity that will keep it alive for 2 more decades probably. Still room for it to improve in 5-10 years, a truly great Rioja, drink now-2035 or more, 93-94 points.
