Opened with my dad for his birthday (this is his birth year.) Color surprisingly vibrant, cork in fantastic shape, a little tiny hint of fruit but tertiary as expected and even the tertiary notes were faded! A lot of fun to drink but well past its prime.

Corked was soaked and funky but wine turned out to be excellent. Barnyard nose, fruit mostly gone but palate exhibited typical aged rioja characteristics. A real treat to drink a wine that old.
