  Still fresh, splashes clean cherry fruit, bright, balanced with a pleasant finish

  Medium garnet with bricking
  Aromatics medium. Some dill/American oak. Earth. Dry red plum.
  Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained. Alcohol medium. Red cherry and chalk. Dry wood
  Finish has medium length. Balanced
  Nice, almost 20 year old Rioja. Still has nice fruit and structure, but not too complex and American oak is integrated/fading.
  Can drink or hold

  Medium garnet with some bricking. Rim clearing, unfiltered.
  Aromatics medium +. American oak of coconut, dill, and subtle vanilla. Earth and barn leather. Old dusty cherry.
  Palate has a medium body. Acid medium +. Tannins medium +, medium grained on upper teeth and gums. Alcohol medium. Red and dark cherry.
  Finish has a medium length. Balanced.
  Nice almost 2 decade old Rioja. Tannins are well integrated at this stage. Don't think aging potential is fully past, but I'd drink now. Still with nice fruit on the palate but little left on the nose.

  Same impressions as my last bottles on 7/8/17 and 8/27/18. Very pleasing and good QPR at $14 in 2009.
