  May 10, 2018 - Una Tarde para la Densidad (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Impeccable but honestly it does not look-smell-taste like a Rioja. At least classic style. It seems to be what our kids adore to call "an Atlantic wine". Predominate aromas of underbrush (lavender, thyme or rosemary). Some pastry cream, limestone and looking after looking for some black fruit.
  In a blind tasting this would have people arguing for hours.
  In the mouth I do not deny certain elegance but it is dense as a RdD, astringent as a Calatayud wine, short as a Manchego and with some coolness like some Moncayo wines, also for high alcohol (to follow in the same region Aragon).
  Can age? Honestly I don't care. Not my choice, sorry.
  
  Impecable pero sinceramente no parece un Rioja. Al menos de corte clásico. Parece hasta lo que los chiquitines denominan "un vino Atlántico". Predominan los aromas a sotobosque (lavanda, tomillo o romero). Algo de crema pastelera, roca caliza y buscando buscando algo de fruta negra.
  En una cata a ciegas esto tendría discutiendo a la gente durante horas.
  En boca no niego cierta elegancia pero es denso como un RdD, pelín astringente como un vino de Calatayud, corto como un manchego y con algo de frescor tipo vinos del Moncayo (por seguir en Aragón).
  ¿Puede envejecer más? Honestamente me la refanfinfla. Nunca mi elección.
