Sehr viel Power. Viel reife, fast süßliche dunkle Beerenfrucht. Unheimlich viel auskleidendes, pikantes Tannin. Jugendlich. Am zweiten Tag in der Nase Sojasauce, etwas Reife anzeigende welkende Lilien, dunkle, reife Beerenfrucht. Viel Power, Tiefe, ohne fett zu sein. Dunkle reife Frucht, betörend. Nahezu absurde Länge.

In the bouquet dark berries. On the palate dark berries, oak, coffee, a touch of sweetness and a lot of acidity. I trust that with more ageing this wine will show more finesse. 89 - 91

Bought a six pack of these which I finally received toward the end of 2021. I had three bottles of these back when I received them which were too closed and tannic. Quite surprised so I have held of on the remaining bottles with the hope that these mellow out and become accessible over time. I guess we will see.....

Enjoyed with beefy quesadillas. Fairly typical Rioja, hoped for a bit more after 12 year’s. Didn’t think it needed any more time in bottle, tasted better with no aeration, just some minutes in the glass

Still quite tannic and austere. Alcohol and oak dominate on the nose. Needs another 3+ years of bottle aging.
