Purchased in May 2011 and it was suggested to cellar for 5-10 years. Drank one 6 years ago and again in 2017, they were right, wow what a difference from my initial notes. The plum was still there but now more subtle flavours came out like, tobacco, cigar box and a little white pepper. Wish I bought a third :(

I just can't rate this in the very good - excellent range, despite higher professional ratings. After nearly six years in my cellar, I find it still lacking the smooth refinement of (what I consider to be) good Rioja. Plum notes in the nose and mouth. Garnet color with good clarity. Yeah, too rough around the edges to

Nicely matured wine that has gained in elegance. On the palate plums and spices. There are other aromas that remind me of food like grilled meat and tomato soup. The half full bottle after having spent 24 h in the fridge has developed aromas of blackberries. 14% alc. Drink now or in the next 3 years.

The color is fading towards the garnet. I had it about a year ago, and it was still very tight. Now it is opening up, showing a very powerful nose of plum, black currant, black cherry and spice. Medium bodied with ripe tannins, intense fruit flavors, high alcohol and lingering finish.

Schon die zweite Flasche des Jahrgangs 2007 die entäuscht. Gegenüber JG 06 zu viel Säure , Tannine werden eben von dieser überdeckt . Nur das Bouquet und der erste Eindruck auf dem Gaumen erinnern an den Vorjahrgang. Schade!
