  Best bottle (Restaurant Lion's, Stuttgart): *** brief notes for my memory, no detailed tasting notes. Wines tasted blind if not noted otherwise ***
  A bit hazy, tawny color. Beautiful nose of aged Rioja: Spicy, herbaceous, hints of leather and tobacco, dense and complex.
  On the palate you notice, that is certainly past its prime, but still a wonderful wine, aged in dignity. Acidity is still wonderful integrated and makes it quite juicy. Some blood, meat, fine tobacco, herbs and other tertiary notes. Very elegant and balanced body, good length. Wonderful experience that actually can’t be rated in points. Thank you Oliver! 93-94

  Muy grande, 61 años a cuestas.... y con cuerda para rato.... beber o guardar. No mejorará, pero es eterno

  Best of these so far. With 40 or 50 minutes in decanter it showed lovely, red fruits accented with leather, sandalwood, and citrus zest. Bright and plenty of life left . B+/A-

  Still absolutely beautiful. Soft and round structure. Great aging notes, lacking in depth and complexity but overall a great wine and very enjoyable.

  Opened and decanted and turned into one of those wonderful tasting much younger than it should wines. Lots of leather and cigar and dried leaves. Years left.
