  Tawny with orange robe. Initial musty smell with something like carrot/vegetal. With time this blew off to reveal traditional rioja profile.
  More mature in the mouth than expected. It drinks very smoothly with no trace of alcohol. Still a hint of fruit but we are firmly in tertiary flavours here, it shows just as well from a half bottle the following day. It's a lovely example of old Rioja but doesn't have the complexity of a truly great example.
