The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis), blackberry, prune, flint, forest floor, lead pencil, cedar, black pepper, bell pepper, eucalyptus and stems. It tastes like black currant (cassis), red currant, fig, mineral, phenolic, vanilla, tea, bell pepper, stems, green olive, soy sauce, cool/menthol and acetic acid. The body is medium/full. The wine has bright texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has high acidity.

Dark berries, sweet licorice and sweet herbs and spices. On the palate juicy dark berries, good acidity, round tannin and a pleasant touch of sweetness. Ready now and the next ? years.

Still in a very good taste, very light and elegant, for a rioja, but still so powerful and complex. Many layers here. Dark matured fruits, coffee, vanilla, spice, earth, bloody steak. A beautiful wine!
