  November 26, 2023 - Ruby with slight orange hue in thin layers. Nice nose of red currants and cherries first, then fading into mokka, forest floor and tobacco. On the palate the fruit stays, so the palate is much better than the scents. This is in its winter of its life and should be drunk up now if not perfectly cellared since release. 5/11/ 16/8. -2025?

  August 13, 2023 - On the edge of becoming old. New world stye Rioja. In its age, lovely mingling of fruits, and some wood (but none of the traditional aromas imparted by long, long large wood aging in old school riojas). Silky tannins (about gone!). Low acid.
  
  Drink yesterday.

  March 4, 2022 - Garnet with only a slight hue of orange in thin layers. The nose is of middle intensity, but complex with spicy notes, cherry brandy, truffles and pencil shavings. On the palate it shows excellent intensity with present but round tannins and fruity finish. 5/12/16/7. -2025 if perfectly stored since release, otherwise drink it up.
