Initially this wine had a harsh caustic finish though the nose was great from the onset. After two hours it became integrated and smooth and the cinnamon , cardamon, rose petals and red fruit. Light bodied and delicate. A Very nice wine.

Will T’s (30th) 87s (Noizé, London): Denser and plusher than the VR Reserva. Somewhat more obvious as expected. Very smooth. Creamy velvet. Classic Imperial. Brash smoothness rather than reticent complexity. Slips down well though! ****1/2

wonderful. In a place of perfect balance between secondary fruit and tertiary flavors. This shows ample fruit and some earth and tobacco. subtle tea leaves. delicious.

Decanted for an hour. Very youthful. Showing lots of pronounced notes of licorice, leather and noticeable oak. Cherry hiding beneath. Waiting to come out. Last sip showed some orange peel and some tea notes. Give this another decade in cellar to get those lighter more ethereal notes or drink now for prominent notes.

Cherries, dried fruit, bitter chocolate and earth. A tiny bit caustic at first but became quite good after an hour
