August 3, 2016 - This is showing fantastically already, but I agree with the previous notes about the wine's youth. This really needs time to reach its full potential, and one should consider their commitment to their investment when deciding whether or not to open this in the near term. Three bottles were opened at this particular tasting event and all were consistent, not to mention delicious. I was surprised to find very little sediment, but I'm sure that will change by the time we open the bottle we purchased.

December 10, 2012 - Prestige of Rioja (Enoteca Barolo - Madrid): Infanticide again.
Some bacon for a smoky, woody nose.
Tannic palate.
Perhaps in a ten years...
Otro infanticidio.
Algo de panceta para una nariz ahumada, amaderada.
Boca tánica.
Quizás en diez años...
