  Coming from nothing more than just a fair vintage, a brilliant Rioja GR example needing a little breath.
  Old brownish colour for a fat, dense wine.
  Figs, tar, roses, toffee, all spices cupboard, a chocolatey nose.
  A pleasant and elegant mouthfeel is following, full of good sensations.
  That is an outstanding bottle, very Barolo-like. Now understanding all those pasted awards.
  I am in luv.
  
  Viniendo de una añada no mas que pasable, un Rioja GR brillante que necesitaba un pequeño respiro.
  Viejo color amarronado para un vino graso, denso.
  Una nariz chocolateada con higos, brea, rosas, pastillas de café con leche, armario de especias.
  Le sigue una sensación en boca agradable y elegante, llena de buenas sensaciones.
  Es una botella fuera de lo común, muy Barolo. Ahora entiendo los premios del pasado. La amo.
