February 22, 2019 - Nice find from PJ's. 97% tempranillo and 3% Albillo from 80-year-old vines aged 2 years in barriques, per the email. It will need time in the cellar, as the first day it's brimming with loads of dry, grainy tannin in a fashion reminiscent of old-style Bordeaux, the fruit taking a back seat. The next day the fruit sweetens up and saturates the structure, picking up that slightly leathery sheen typical of the grape but in a more primary fashion than you'd find in a classic Rioja.
