Rich, almost creamy berries with a buttery palate. Nice deep red color. Age has done this wine good. Notice one comment from a month ago that it is over the hill. My experience is exactly the opposite. I think it's better than 1 or 2 years ago when I cracked my first 2003 of this vintage. Maybe I just got lucky on this one, but I will age my next ones 5-7 years as well.

Good basic wine. Went fine with chicken enchiladas. Let it breath for a least 1hour. Somewhat tart , dried fruit , cherries, tar.

suprisingly light Rioja, was expecting more body. But still nice fruits and well balanced acidity. in my opinion still in very good shape.
