September 8, 2018 - Another Saturday at Chevalier...Mostly Blind Spanish Wine (Chevalier Fine Wines - Chicago IL): Tasted double blind in Spanish tasting. Mostly matured black fruit in a modern style, oaky but mostly integrated. Slightly drying finish. Tasty, but somewhat non-distinctly Rioja.

February 12, 2018 - Last bottle, and sad to see it go. Had many of these over the years and the 1995 was always charming. Drink now.

March 10, 2016 - Ever the slightest bit past its peak now, but still drinking beautifully. Nice old wood and balsamic, smoky nose. Full+ maturity, soft sweet fruit, refined structure. Showing a little less power now than in the past, but very enjoyable. Drink now and over the next few years.

Tasted non blind at a wine dinner.
Light garnet to garnet color in the glass, little dusty looking. Nose of dried herbs, anise, black berries and a hint of leather. Flavors of black berries, black raspberries and minerals. Tart acidity, medium tannin, medium to full bodied. Drink now.
