  rich, smooth and upfront fruit supported by a leathery meaty structure. Tannin are fairly smooth and integrated though acidity gives freshness to the fruit lifting the complexity notch.
  
  Drinking v well now.

  Olor a cuero curtido. Sabor a moras y frambuesa. Todavía con mucho cuerpo. Pienso que puede durar muchos años más.

  Consistent with my previous review from about a year ago. Double decanted an hour before serving; dark purple color. Good nose on this wine, which is composed of 80% tempranillo and 20% Garnacha, Graciano, and Mazuelo. The inital nose seems to be dominated by blackberries and touch of leather, with some wood. Wine has reasonable length. Round, soft tanins in the finish with just a touch of bitterness. Reasonable life expectancy of 10 years or so for this wine, and should get better with a bit of bottle age.

  Very dry, tobacco notes dominating, medium bodied, medium-long acidic finish.

  Very good! A really full, interesting Rioja. Aromas of fairly new leather, black fruits and spice. The palate is not too dry, it has flavours of black and red fruit with just the right level of oakiness. Really enjoyable.
