Still massively tannic at almost 20 years of age. Priorat-like with its mixture of ripe but roasted red and black fruits. Seems not to have budged much in almost 20 years.

Older yet, still a little more clumsier and simple than past bottles perhaps but it remains enjoyable to drink. This is my last bottle so its time for someone else who has one of those 30 bottles to keep this thread alive.

Holding up but not getting any better. Sort of a Jumillan sideways. Still ripe, raisiny, a bit slow but the tannins and fruit are still playing nicely so no need to panic. This wine lacks depth which would make it more interesting.
Oh well.

Tasted at the Viva Espana tasting.
Best of the old lot, with more fruit and flavors intact. Round, slightly burnt, still flavorful and decent finish with lots of oak coming through.

Big dense wine. Great nose. Not too bad.
