What a surprise. I got this bottle from a friend who has found it in his cellar, lost and forgotten for a long time. I was prepared to be disappointed and I had another wine prepared, but what a treat. The wine is still full of life, no sign of any tiredness or oldness, this is brooding with warm notes of strawberry jam and ripe red apples. There is a touch of heat on the palate, getting more pronounced with time (but I mean hours), otherwise a beautiful mature crianza with soft and sweet tannins and a long finish. It is not very possible I will ever taste this wine again, but this is a very nice farewell.

Samfélag netsins var með réttan dag fyrir lokadag vínsins sem 2009. Það er helst til oxað. Var samt ánægjulegt til drykkjar. Lykt af dökkum berjum, þung. Sveit í bragði auk spánsk krydds. Langt eftirbragð.

Vin droit, bien structuré, de qualité. Gagne à être carafé. Pas spécialement remarquable, mais très correct quand même. Pourrait être un tantinet plus long en bouche."

gorgeous, very elegant wine, classic ribera style. Still a lot of miles to go!

Very well balanced and smooth. Lots of jammy fruit. Not much body. Not outstanding in any way, but extremely enjoyable.
