85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 5% Viura. Granate de buena capa con el ribete algo abierto. nariz intensa con un seductor bouquet que incluye flores ajadas, cueros finos, cacao, fruta roja madura, notas de fruta licorosa, ahumados, hojas de tabaco. En boca tiene buen ataque, cuerpo medio, tanino muy pulido, notable frescura, buena estructura, ligeros amargos. Persistente y con gran profundidad. Se aconseja decantar (que no airear) ya que presenta abundante depósito. Una maravilla de vino, con finura y presencia y todavía con mucha vida por delante.

Interesting and totally different from the bottle consumed last year. Mature, dull ruby color. Herbs, leather, and oak spice mix with purple fruits on the nose. Full bodied, mature and sweet yet with excellent acidity. A full throttle Rioja. Not going to get any better. (91)

Wow. Perfect timing. Mint bottle. Amazing garrigue, rich, bloody iron enriched rioja. So much better than it showed 10 years ago when l loved it then. Easily great for another 5-10 years.

Nice mix of black tea, cherry, black fruits and earth
Less pepper and spice than I remember when it was younger

Russk. Pablo brought to CDC at his house. I thought, disappointing this time.
