  breathing in decanter for three hours (following the notes here). intense red fruits, fresh and juicy, m+ body, light and linen-touching tannins, comfortably balanced with fresh acidity and some alcohol warmth. moderate oak and savoury notes in finish. an elegant Rioja, sleek style.

  Opened and let sit an hour, decanted, served over 2hr, didn’t really show up, wasn’t too interesting, maybe this is still young, Will lave the rest for a while

  Opened three hours before serving, this could have benefited from a touch more air, preferably in a decanter instead of just the open bottle. Good acidity stood up nicely to a meaty paella with chorizo. Fruit, cedar, spices. Minimal tannins.

  This fell flat for me. Far too much oak at this point that it overwhelms the fruit. I'm picking up a banana note. Hopefully this comes together at some point.
