Community Tasting Note

• Sebastian80 Likes this wine: 91 points

  April 16, 2024 - Tasted blind in a flight of six Iberian wines.
  Dusty with some red and dark fruit on the nose. Modest. Fresh acidity.
  Feels like it’s in between phases. I would wait 5-10 years for this one because right now it’s a bit disappointing. Easy to pick as a Rioja.

Was looking forward to opening another this weekend for my birthday, but you (@Sebastian80) seem to be implying that its evolution is not linear? That it was good, but now not so much, yet it should/will be again in the near future (if I'm understanding you correctly)?
