Community Tasting Notes 3

    April 12, 2024 - PnP forsiktig nese med en gang åpner fort opp med parfymerte noter som roer seg og går over i klassisk tempranillo nese med bærtørket kaffe rognebær, eikevanilje. Relativt kraftig smak og tydelig eik (sammenlignet med tidligere årganger). 4 dager holder seg fin. Svakere (mer eik) enn tidligere årganger.

    February 15, 2024 - Very good wine. Tasting of sweet ripe raspberries, oak and leather. Small hint of tobacco. Long and smooth tannins. The only vintage of this I have tested, so no reference to the others.

    February 14, 2024 - I love the 13 - I can’t think of a better value Rioja. The 12 disappointed. So, the 16……
    PnPd. There is a an overly saccharin sweetness which dominates. Somewhat cloying. Will this dissipate with age? I don’t know. More tannin/leather/acid needed to bring balance.
