Enjoyable, and I got the sense that this has more time ahead (more so than previous bottle). This is not amazing, but it does provide quite a nice blend of red fruit, toasty oak, acidity; the age has brought things together nicely yet it still seems fresh enough.

Dark ruby hue. Aromas of blackberry, chocolate, leather, mint, and plum. Big body. High, robust tannins. High acidity. Palate of dark fruits, earthy, and oak. Finish of vanilla. Complex and well-rounded. Perfect with a steak.

Nice. Needed an hour in decanter to open up.

similar to last bottle. Some life ahead, but I do not think this one will last indefinitely the way some other Rioja seem to...
