Community Tasting Notes (10) Avg Score: 92.3 points

  • The first vintage of a modern spin-off project but at age 30 it's anything but. Texturally it's on the fleshier side, with some plummy fruit, but otherwise it's pretty classic. Leathery, spicy, old wood, dense & savory, a marvel.

  • Fully mature, fruit is dried and plummy while the earthy, leathery elements are strong. A little old Rioja spicecake, some mushroomy wood, and a bit of roasting coffee. Very good.

  • Opened, left 90 min, decanted, then left 20 min before tasting.

    Cork was perfectly intact - tight, even. Wine is a deep crimson with a clear/brick rim.

    Surprisingly youthful nose for a 27 year old wine. Cherry and red berry core. Overlaid with leather, touch of dried mushrooms, spices. Cedar bark. Black pepper. Anise.

    On palate - wine is sound. Medium acid, low alcohol, softened tannins. Peppercorns, currant, blueberries really come out on the palate. Soft, with a long, clean finish. Goes a touch sideways at the end with a sort of bitter conclusion, but otherwise quite beautiful.

    Mature movie star, still handsome.

  • Dark fruit (blueberry, cherry), leather, slight tobacco?, nice spice. Good acidity. Lingering finish.

  • Perfectly mature classic Rioja. Pale garnet with plenty of bricking. Nose of dusty cherry, meat, orange peel, spices and wood. Palate was lean and just bordering on raisin. More classic notes of tart berry, orange, clove, lean berries and red prune. Classic with a touch of modernity.
