From DMag, the oldest Pison I had so far, apparently not a great vintage but wine was definitely delicious, not heavy, maybe a bit short on the palate but nose & mouth really good. Was preferred by the group over the 2004 Vina de Andres which is a totally different style of Rioja

Kleur: Helder bordeaux-rood, zelfs na 17 jaar, geen spoor van veroudering Aroma / bouquet: Een vleugje kurk. Donker fruit, geconfijte kers, opvallende zoetige kruiderij, laurier, zoethout, Smaak / Afdronk: Ook in de mond rijp-zoete indrukken, kruiden en geconfijte kers, subtiele zuurgraad, zachte tannines met een prettige 'bite'. Lange afdronk. Algemeen / potentieel: Geen spoor van verkleuring, veroudering of vermoeidheid. Lekker. Maar te weinig inhoud en structuur om groots te worden. 50 + Kleur: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Smaak / Afdronk: 16 + Algemeen / potentieel: 7 = 89/100\

Color: Clear bordeaux-red, even after 17 years, no trace of aging Aroma / bouquet: A touch of cork. Dark fruit, candied cherry, distinctive sweet condiment, bay leaf, licorice, Taste / Finish: In the mouth, ripe sweet impressions, spices and candied cherry, subtle acidity, soft tannins with a pleasant bite . . Long finish General / potential: No sign of discoloration, aging or fatigue. Yummy. But too little content and structure to be big. 50+ Color: 5 + Aroma / bouquet: 11 + Taste / Finish: 16 + General / potential: 7 = 89/100

Incredible dark fruit, minerals, and a menthol accent, and still youthful with vibrant acidity and ample velvet tannin come together in a stunning blend of grace and power that begs for serene contemplation.

Bright, really opened up after an hour. This is still holding its own and drinking well.
