Decanted for a couple of hours and it was softening nicely. Classic Rioja colouring, reliably familiar soft oak and leather nose. Bags of velvety smooth ripe fruit and a hint of vanilla. Really good, with the joy of a magnum being it just goes on...

A splendid Reserva from the venerable La Rioja Alta. Classic Rioja nose - vanilla, gentle oak, nutmeg, leather. Soft, velvety, sweet and savoury at the same time. Delicious. No doubt will get better and better with age.

Stunning. Old school Rioja with incredibly deep flavour and a finish that goes on for weeks. Very good.

Silky smooth Rioja Alta from the Society. Pleasantly surprising and would age well in my opinion. Accompanied red meat.
