Pura humedad. Primera añada de Vicalanda y oxidativo a tope sin recorrido ni esperanza en nariz. De trago desequilibrado. Considerando la extraordinaria añada, ¿Fue un experimento o simplemente una botella fallida?

true, dark cherry with medium viscosity. Smell of cellar (mold) and curling aroma of . Tannins light and the wine is a tiny bit faded but perfectly drinkable. The vanilla extract taste is ever-present thanks to the usual French Oak taste of Rioja. The wine should be consumed before 2013

Really enjoyed this. It's made in a more modern style so still lots of intensity and much darker colour than expecting given the age (recently had a 1994 Tondonia which was a massive contrast in style!). Really very good and I wish I'd bought more than just 1 bottle.

Historical Bodegas Bilbainas Tasting Event (plus dinner at La Piperna) (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Feeling highly humidity. Corked? First vintage of Vicalanda and was oxidised, out of the trail, any hope on the nose. Unbalanced throat. Considering the outstanding vintage, was it an experiment or just a flawed bottle?

Lighter bodied than expected. Complex nose, almost Bordeaux-like, and a good structure, though lacking a little depth.
