  light on its feet and very elegant. Wasn't expecting much from this and was pleasantly surprised.

  Note: I use a rating scale for which 85 represents a very good wine.
  
  Decent wine, but not particularly noteworthy for me. Not quite as smooth as the last bottle, which I had some time ago.
  My guess is that it is on the way down. Drink 'em if you got 'em.

  Took this very last bottle to friends for dinner. Didnt really open it early enough to breath, so the first glass was a bit closed. Once it had opened up it was typical Rioja with leather and spice and nice rounded tannins.
  Still drinking very well.

  Quite smooth and intense wine. Still very fresh but fruits are quite muted with tartness and tar dominating the palate. Ok with food, but would be difficult to drink without it. Finishing with dry sour tannins. Better than a few years ago when the tannins were just too much. It still puckers your mouth in the end, but food holds that back. I would rate this 86 with food but without it more like an 82. Shows a big difference. Too bad that 01 was a spectacular year for Spain, yet this wine still struggles to find a good balance.

  Much better than previous bottle: lovely vibrant fruit, reasonable depth and age. Good to have had the last one, though, given the variability.
