An incredible nose. A full bouquet of balsamic, zest of citrus, sweet Moroccan dates. Wow. One of the best sniffs in a long time. The taste and palate are medium, very nice, but finishes a bit short for me. A bit below the 98 lopez, but still very nice.

The oldest wine I've ever had, but not the oldest seeming, by a long shot. Good fruit still, lots of acid, the oak is present in the background but not at all overwhelming. Doesn't speak to me of anything profound, but extremely nice drinking and a great food match.

Balanced, mature, red fruit and a little vanilla/dill oak, fun if not exciting. B/B+

Clearly older but holding on well. Black plums, dill, clove, earth. Tannins pretty much gone, moderate acids. Good but ready. B/B+
