July 14, 2022 - Has aged elegantly. More subtle and layered than its younger form. Purple in the glass, immediate fragrance. Silky entry, soft dark fruit in the middle, and pepper on the end. We agreed that we may have caught the wine at its peak.

April 12, 2021 - Excellent bottle of modern take on Rioja that has certainly aged well. Dark fruit and a bit of earth. Medium to full bodied. The only drawback to this wine is that, blind, I probably would have guessed it to be a 2000 bdx. Which is certainly high praise, but might not be exactly what you have in mind when you pull the cork on a Rioja.

May 29, 2020 - Bottles purchased 8 years ago at auction, in my cellar since. Impulse pull from the cellar, looking to brighten up hamburgers and roasted potatoes...:) PnP, cork came out clean.
Dark, saturated ruby color. Classic Rioja nose of dark cherry, leather and cigar box. Palate showing deep red and blue fruits, licorice, tobacco, cedar. Sappy, mouth coating texture, red fruits/cherry persists through the mid palate. Medium/full body, long finish.
This has aged beautifully, what you want from Rioja. Some might say more modern style, but the wine does not surrender any complexity as a result of bigger fruit. In a great spot now and based on this bottle, has a way to go. I only paid ~$40 for this... good example of how Rioja represents great value for age worthy wines1 person found this helpful Comment -
