This bottle was absolutely delicious and in peak form. Generous cherry fruit, no excessive oak, resolved tannins and very subtle nose that is almost truffled. Very graceful and well balanced. One of the best riojas I've had in a long while, and I drink a lot of them.

Dark red. Fantastic nose, vanilla, roses, raspberry. Woody and still quite tannic, balanced by fruit. Glad we drank it now rather than waiting two years.

Drank really well. From magnum - opened 2 hours before dinner (beef tenderloin & Salmon) but did not decant. Dirt, red currants, cranberry & tobacco on nose. Similar palate- medium body, medium+ acids & long finish. Very nice wine. 92+

A shame, this was a really nice wine while it lasted.
