No wine with broad shoulders. Not too dense. But beautifully build. More the old type of Rioja. Rim: brick. Core: warm red. Taste: Soft roasted red paprika. Caramel. Fig. Mellow plum/mulberry. Integrated laurel gives him length. Now at its peak. Maybe another year? Wish would have bought a few more. Like that type of wine.

Glass: Riedel Vinum Syrah Drunk over three days. Deep, purple ruby color. Silky, Velvet wine, fruit driven, modern. Not a classical Rioja style. Uncomplicated, good length. Still young, potential for at least 5+ years, but I guess it will not improve. 89-90

Not much more to add to my note from 2018. Modern style Rioja, very fruit driven, a bit hot. Crowd pleaser, but also a bit boring.

Deep ruby. Nose of dark berries and oak. Medium bodied. Silky tanins, cherry and berries.
