October 18, 2023 - TWS Rioja tasting (Chelsea Old Town Hall): Some funky spiced leather, animal notes emerging. Spicy cherry and strawberry and a pleasantly leafy, sweet character on the palate. Maybe it's running out of energy a bit but I enjoyed it.

July 3, 2023 - Wonderful addition from David P to an evening of smoked ribs, chicken, chorizo and sausages. Great nose of strawberry and some leather and oak which continued on the palate w tart cherries as well. Medium finish. Still has lots of life ahead of it I would think.

December 29, 2021 - If this is what aged Rioja is, I want more! Sweet oak, dusty tannins, dried tart cherries and still abundant acidity. Opened two bottles with a little bit of bottle variation. One bottle needed 20+ minutes and the other was PnP. Both ended up in the same place.

January 5, 2020 - Textbook aged Rioja.
Colour starting to brick at the rim, but still a garnet at the core.
Both red and dark fruits on the nose, with oaky Vanilla, some older tones (leather etc). A slightly Musar-esque nose (I'm not sure if 2000 was a hot vintage or not?).
Nice refreshing acidity on a very clean palate. Absolutely knocking it out of the park.
Last of my old label Ardanzas. Ah well. Could live for a good while yet if you feel like holding on.
