October 21, 2020 - Spanish Tasting (Bistro Cocotte, Haberfield): Initially slightly reductive with meaty notes. With time and agitation it starts to show vanilla, strawberry with a touch of tobacco leaf underpin, quite 'savoury' compared to the 2007. Juicy, medium plus intensity acidity but still fleshy, the fruit a little volatile on the palate, tannins are chalky , alcohol a little intrusive. Possibly needs a couple more years to come together as it shows better and better in the glass with time. I'm informed that this was decanted beforehand but not sure on the duration.

Despite my relatively limited tastings (cost, as usual - this one is twice as expensive in Australia vs the global price) I am a huge fan of the La Rioja Alta wines, especially the 890 and 904.
cheers, chatters -
