Community Tasting Notes 2

    January 15, 2020 - Incredibly dark color. Beautiful fruit still. Monolithic at first, but with air, starts to give dill and balsamic and scents of lime zest. Tart, lean, sour cherry fruit, classic Rioja. Gets much better with some air, fanning out on the palate and showing more complexity. Must have been a monster in its youth. Special to try such a museum piece. 93-94 pts.

    September 30, 2013 - Rupert's Bosconia (The Medlar, London): Even deeper colour than the 64GR. Nose is more savoury, coffee and spicy deep red fruit. Coffee cream. Brighter acidity on the attack. A little leaner and brighter. More focus. More as one would expect. Lovely with the partridge boudin blanc. A slight frisson of unpredictability/wildness cf the 64s flawless beauty. Trad b&w label as per the GRs, but without the 'cosecha de' designation before the vintage, so suspected Res rather than GR. *****
