  April 13, 2014 - Mature, with bits of dill and vanilla. Some sweetness on the back of the tongue, fairly middle of the road traditional Rioja. Good.

  March 26, 2011 - This was a remarkable wine. Light brown/red in color with an amazing nose, smooth finish. Benefited from a 1 - 2 h decanting.

  September 29, 2007 - This wine was a gift from a non wine lover who got this bottle as a gift as well. He kept the wine for many years beside the fireplace. The result of this mistreatment was a light carmine orange brown wine. In the bouquet unpleasant organic smells and oxidation. In the taste there is oxidation as well. Also high candy acidity, faint red fruits and bitterness. This must have been a nice wine, so I do not score it. I can imagine that this wine could score 86 or 87 when stored under better conditions.
