Nicely evolved, similar to the bottle I had a couple of years back. Very open and charming on the nose - vanilla, ripe fruit, cocoa, orange peel, spices. On the palate not quite as impressive - a little drying, the acidity standing out a little. Not too much fruit. Good length. Drink up. 91-93

At La Cabotte, with AW and FC. The nose was slightly odd, quite briny with dry earth and underlying dark fruit. Vanilla too. Medium bodied on the palate which was quite tactile with soft tannins, dark fruit, touch of game but then crisp, even slightly shrill acidity on the finish. Slightly disappointing in truth, maybe not the best bottle.

A good Rioja, but just that. I yearned for more freshness and intrigue but it was balanced, flavorful and seemingly fully resolved. Rather too easy to drink for this level.

中到淡宝石红色,闻香有灌木,李子,香料和木质香气,入口酸度高,酒液很咸,矿物感清晰,单宁紧涩,有些抓口,颗粒还算细腻,梅果,李子,酸梅汁一般的口感,真的很酸,香气说不上特别复杂,但是酒有着漂亮的结构感,集中度也很棒。酒的状态很新鲜,没有丝毫的老态,感觉还没有完全醒开,多给一些时间应该会展现出更多深度和复杂的东西
