  "Fruity", she said, again! Also, balanced, dark, exotic, long.

  5/7/2018 - HandmadeHomemade Likes this wine:

  Decanted for two hours prior to drinking, aromas of dry earth, plums, vanilla, and spice- seems a bit new world-style to me, lots of vanilla. In the mouth the wine is full bodied, fruit-forward in style, easy to like and enjoyable to drink. Flavors of plums, vanilla, and fermented tobacco. Well made.

  "Fruity" was C's comment. This wine has aged brilliantly - full of sweet dark fruit in waves. Tannins well receded now, but not showing any signs of going over the top. I can't see it getting better from here, but no reason to rush to finish these.

  This stunned me with its quality. Tingly complexity. Full bodied. Dark fruit. Super length. Grippy but on the way to being resolved. Far far better than bottles consumed a few years ago. Hoping the difference is time, rather than bottle variation as several bottles remain. I would not have known it as rioja. Oddly, it reminds me of Pegau 03.
