September 27, 2014 - Wraysbury Dinner (Home): Mid ruby, reasonably bright. My third bottle of this in eighteen months, and from a stunning bottle initially, the second was a little less composed, and this one a step further down whilst still being a very good mature Rioja, it lacked the pizzazz of that first bottle. A touch of coffee, less of the orange peel than one might have expected. Still reasonably plush fruit, but just lacking that little something. Can't argue with bottle variation after 40 years though! ***1/2
