  Decant for 5 hours - so smooth and very complex. Love the hint of cherry at the end.

  Drank this at a wine dinner with my wine mates at Kam Boat Teochew Restaurant. Theme of the evening: Wines that start with the letter Y.
  
  Beautiful wine bloomed and blossomed throughout the evening. Drinking wonderfully through the dinner. Kept this as the last red wine as a special highlight.

  If you’re going to drink this now, it needs a solid 6 hour decant. Smoky leather and burnt cherry. Hardly any oak for a Rioja. Underwhelmed.

  Ready to drink but will last forever. Dark cherry, touch of wood, broad and full. Lasting. Better with meat.
