A pronounced nose of black berries, dried figs and some dill. Very complex on the palate with well integrated tannins. Very well balanced, with a long after taste. Exceptional.

Awesome Rioja! Very similar to the 2004, but not as powerful....more refined & elegant. Decanted four hours. This has reached its optimum drinking window now. Probably should be consumed within the next five years.

Deep ruby, animal, fleshy, bold fruit aromas, all very pronounced. Great mouthfeel, balanced acidity, high tannins, full body developping black berries and plums flavours. Never ending finish. What an amazing wine!! Power and elegance in same time

Decanted 2,5 hours. This bottle was not as good as the last one (94 pts). Less intense and a bit more acidity. But still very good. This wine has a long life ahead. 93 pts.

Long oriental finish, still young, enjoyable more than fifteen years to come.
