  Big and bold Rioja. Aromas of black cherry, root beer, black olives and tobacco. Palate is lush with cherry cola flavors, cassis, black licorice, and baking spices. Finish is loaded with intensified oaky tobacco, spice and dried cherry flavors. Lots of acidity. More New World in style but still quite good.

  Red and black berries, dry with some vague tannins in the background, subtle oak on the nose. Nice.

  87 Dec 2022 in burgundy glass after 1hr decant👃 🍓 plum slightly rubbery. 👅🍒, Balsamic, acidic, iron and cedar on the very long finish. Should be all there but not wowing me today. Next day the balsamic goes away. I'll be cellaring this for a few years to see how it progresses. There might be some upside.

  Blue- and blackberry on the quite mineral nose. Also notes of leather and tobacco.
  
  Good balance on the palate. Sweetness but also dusty tannins.
