Had one bottle in the cellar left but thought I would consign it to my vinegar production based upon a bottle tasted in 2017. As usual I always taste the bottle before decanting it and was very surprised that it was still vibrant far better than the bottle tasted two years ago. Fresh and very integrated, nicely developed tannin level. Very nice wine

med+ purple with orange hue. Nose-pretty- violet, black cherry cola, rose. med bodied, med tannins, med+ acidity, well balanced, great mouthfeel, tomato leaf/tobacco, raspberry/cherry. This is great. Drinking well now and for a few more years but why risk it. Modern style Rioja

Very developed and tawny. It is a classic Rioja that is aged and developed. Modest oak, brown sugar and berries, soft and supple. This is at its peak, I have one other bottle that will be consumed within the month.

Fat, feels like a modern style wine. Rustic with dried fruits. Nice with lamb, becomes sweet.

Better on the nose than on the tongue. It is a bit thin for me.
