Real Spanish tempranillo reserva, still full, taste and smell of wood though integrated. Lack of fruit / rather dusty wine, probably because of the age.

Past prime. Drinkable if the alternative is no wine at all, but even then a close call. Contrast w the 2009 Montebuena Rioja which is a quaffer's delight. In fairness, this is out of its window.

Decanted very briefly. Relatively simple Rioja which goes well with food. Ruby color with a slight orange/brown rim developing. Light to medium body. Best part of the wine is the finish which is not particularly long but just very typical Rioja. Drink up within 2 years

Nice nose, hints of spice. medium body in the mid palate, with a bit too short a finish. Overall a nice wine.
