Sumptuous Rioja - evolved and no improvement left in it but this bottle is a point now - black plums, vanilla as always , a touch of liqourice but sweet fruit - excellent vfm.

This has been a favourite of mine since 2004, last tasted in 2007 it showed maturity but still time left in bottle. I was wrong, now the fruit has faded away and I think it´s over the hill and the only way is down. Sad, but nothing ever last forever.

Past it´s prime. I think this was on it´s top between 04-07, since then the fruit has gone away and now it feels thin and dry.

Very surprised - wasn't expecting this to be so good. Full maturity, but with good fruit left. Well balaced, elegant with long finish.
