Nice personality, with very good balance and structure. Less expressive than the 94 Reserva Pesquera or the 94 Alion, but still very good. Long finish. Tannins can still soften. Will continue to integrate and will drink nicely (as it does now) till 2010 at least. Lovely wine!

Sydney MW Summer School; 1/26/2002-1/27/2002 (Sydney Airport Stamford Hotel): Earthy; generally oxidative and old-wood influenced. Very fleshy and meaty in texture and flavours compared to your typical Rioja wines which have the history. Full-bodied and earthy in flavour. May a bit old, I don’t seem to have found any fruit in this TN…
