Disappointing. This was bought recently but I should have passed. First impression was that it was maderized.With a little more time it turned out it was simply passed its prime. Drink now before it's too late.

Both bottles drunk at a dinner, popped and poured. V: throwing sediment, slightly purple hue, defying its age. N: Some coffee, mocha and red fruit. P: a bit stewed, muted fruit. Nothing bad, just not notable. I am a big fan of rioja (traditional rioja). The only thing I goofed on was letting it get a fair airing before tasting it. It would have helped its assesment, IMHO. Not sure, I'd buy more, but it was an interesting buy and a great value.

Nice wine with a structure that has evened out over the years. Anxious to try better years. Drink now.
