The Return to San Sebastian; 5/17/2019-5/18/2019 (San Sebastian, Spain): Opened and left to develop in the bottle. We should have decanted for a good 30 minutes and thus advisable. Definitely a modern wine in style, with good ripe fell, well extracted and with a decent amount of oak in its elevage. Still though at this age it is very much a pretty wine, just about moving to secondary, herby /spice feel and with a very solid palate feel. This could well evolve and age a a few more summers. Good wine to show that modern Rioja can age. 91
