Wow. Steeped tea. rasin. ginger, earth and perfume out of the glass. Very complex as it opens. This takes about a hour to come into it's groove. Mid pallet a little hollow. Medium finish with Dark cherry and dried tobacco leaf. Great acidity and smooth tannins. It is elegant, I must say. Very complex and interesting wine. Love it. Drink now to 2016.

Brick color. A good mature modern Rioja. Residual fruit with soft tannins. Medium length finish. Perfect with a leg of lamb.

Dark brownish red
Dried fruit and a touch of cork on the nose
Dried fruit, port, mocca and laquorice. Oakish and good balance.
Very good length
The oxidized style might not be appealing for everyone, but it is a very good experience if you are into portstyled wine.

Pale Ruby colour rim, medium Ruby core. Usual Rioja flavours of vanilla and fruit. Prolonged length. Good stuff, but not as good as the Murua 97.

Sound, OK, but thin, sour finish. 85P
