April 10, 2016 - Crimson with no bricking, blueberry, mint, leather and bay leaf. Bitter in the mouth, a bit too tannic. Wait.

March 20, 2016 - beautiful showing, old school Rioja, complex, a sweet touch, just a bit overripe (vintage)

December 21, 2013 - Some maturity on the nose, a deep cherry red colour, on the palate it has the richness I associate with Olivo. No sign of the negatives associated with this year, no roasted fruit and the alcohol (14%) sits well. There is a nice tart note on the finish that keeps it refreshing in fact. No rush to open this, it will improve. Even better on day 2.

October 9, 2013 - drank out - nice nose of red fruit, sweet oak, spices and vanilla, the mouth was less enticing, a bit too big and horizontal.
