A bit shy just opened, with some prunes that I really dislike in my bottle of Rioja. But the wine gained momentum with just 20 minutes of air and it became very interesting. Beautiful cherry notes, a whiff of leather and some meaty profile. In the mouth the wine is ready, with tannins resolved but will probably keep. I was deceived by previous bottles of this wine but this really delivered.

Nice but not great. There is a slight vegetal nose on it but otherwise it drinks well.
