Community Tasting Note

Old Doug wrote: 92 points
February 22, 2014 - A couple hours of air time has made this taste good. The nose is still hitting me hard, in a good way (big dark sweet deep cherry and a "woodiness" akin to Bordeaux), but the palate is restrained - overall it's acid-driven, and for a Tempranillo blend, it's still rather "Bordeaux-like." The cork was in pristine condition, and there's some nice bricking going on. My only complaint here is that the acidity is a little too prominent. Really good cherry and darker red fruits on the palate.

Style apart, high acidity guarantees a long life so please just wait until 2023 to obtain the best of this bottle.

Just depending on how really old you're
98 is very closed at the present so the more you wait the more you'll obtain.
Regards only for the patient :-)
Cheers!
