July 18, 2010 - Very unusual. Light and almost prematurely aged in colour and density, this had a very floral and exotic aroma. Some classic rioja strawberry and vanilla but also distinctive cherry. It reminded me oddly of a recent Chateau Musar 1998 (without quite so much sour cherry flavours). Medium to light bodied. Enjoyable, although I kept wondering if the bottle was faulty in some way - judging by the other comments, probably not.
