April 18, 2022 - Easter Sunday with lamb. Oaky nose, smoke. Long finish. Well balanced and not over the hill. Subtle nuances lost with mint sauce, but nonetheless a good wine.

December 31, 2021 - PnP and 90min decant. Drinking straight from the go.
Fully mature, soft, mellow. Nose of red fruit and balsam. On the palette, the fruit gently arrives and then quickly transitions to lovely aged flavours of wood, smoke and cocoa. Powerful. Resolved tannins
Extremely impressive Rioja at £28.1 person found this helpful Comment -

December 25, 2021 - Really special. Still lots of fruit - plum, black cherry and sweeter bramble notes - but the age characters starting to shine through, some gentle spice (clove or nutmeg) into a smooth savoury finish with cedar and light oak notes. Gone back for a case.

November 19, 2021 - Tasted at home with friends at my annual DECADEnt dinner, where every wine served has its vintage ending in the same as the current year, so this year all vintages ending in “1”. Generally reckoned by those around the table to be the best wine of the evening. Opened one hour before tasting to accompany coq au vin. Still remarkably fresh and all that I would have expected a 20 year old Rioja Gran Reserva to taste like. Soft, plummy raspberries with a hint of spice. Very smooth. Deliciously long in the glass. Excellent.
