  Blend of Tempranillo, Graciano & Garnacha. Decanted with reductive aromas. Some vigorous swirling. Now 1.5h after decant. Aromas of ripe blackberries, black cherries, herbs, tangerines and some earth. With more air, some mild brett comes through. Palate with dark cherries, ripe blackberries, minerals, hints of blueberries, herbs and earth. Medium to full bodied with moderate tannins on the finish. Nice acids give the wine lift while still having some heft. Finishes with prominent tannins, juicy acids with dark fruit and herbs. A bit darker and more bass notes than several months ago. Enjoyable but didn't have the life of the bottle tasted several months ago.

  Medium ruby colour. Medium nose with mulberry, raspberry and blackberry. Taste of red currant, baked cherry, green bell pepper and red plums. Medium long and dry finish. Medium (+) acidity and rough medium tannins. Medium (+) body and flavour. A good quality Rioja. Goes well with pork or poultry.

  The wine is clear, intense blue core with a slightly paler rim. Youthfull
  
  Nose is clean, medium intense aromas of blueberry, crowberry, vanilla, dark cherries, developing
  
  Palate is dry, medium+ alcohol, body and flavour intensity with aromas of blueberry, crowberry, dark cherries, bitter in a medium finish
  
  Well balanced, medium and little bitter finish, intense fruit, solid concentration but lacks complexity. Very good wine, keep for 5 more years. Very good quality, 86p+
