Deep garnet, almost brownish colour. Aeration is required. A perfume for my nose. Can be sniffing for hours finding new aromas. Among many others: sandalwood, stew meat, blackberries, game, artichokes . In many aspects, a very Rioja-like, a very Graciano bottle with that oxidised style. Elegant, delicate even. Lovely acidity. Never alcoholic. Some sediments. Can't deny this is a wine of class and distinction.
Color granate profundo, casi marrón. Es requerida una aireación. Un perfume para mi nariz. Puedo estar esnifándolo durante horas encontrando nuevos aromas. Entre muchos otros: sándalo, estofado, frutillos negros, caza, alcachofas. En muchos aspectos, muy Rioja, una botella muy Graciano con un estilo oxidado. Elegante, incluso delicada. Rica acidez. Nunca alcohólica. Algunos sedimentos. No puedes negar que tiene clase y distinción.

Strawberry fields nose with nice barnyard complexity; smooth palate; fine ripe tannins well integrated. Good acidity and balance. Good finish. Surprisingly the star of the night among six Australian 1999s.

Forward nose of dark cherry liqueur. Less complexity but more advanced age that the bottle I had two months ago. Tannins well integrated. Good acidity and length.

Look quite brown, nose of animal, leather. Blast of liquorice in the mouth, then long finish on red fruit and bitter herbs.
