March 24, 2018 - BYOB with wines 30+ years (Sollentuna): Volatile acids, blue berries, saddle leather, a little stable whiff, some heat on the finish. I guessed a Musar 1988 or Tahbilk ESP from same decade. Good stuff. Faded quickly. Amazing how it has held up though!

Amazing Rioja that's alive and interresting. Oak, led pencil, vanilla, spice, butter, synthetic banana, some sweet fruit -

November 10, 2017 - Mature Rioja @ Medlar (Medlar, London): Mid garnet. Again, a little volatile initially. Similar on the palate to the 54VR but a little richer and with more coffee. Settles down nicely and opens to a classic, smooth richness. Leather, spice and coffee. Lovely. ****1/2

November 28, 2016 - Fantastic level. Deep garnet to an almost ruby core. Lovely mature Rioja with a vibrancy and depth. Core of mid red fruit, some orange peel and spice, but this is more about the velvety fruit and silky, caressing texture. Opens and develops over a couple of hours with the last glass being the best. Should have decanted. Long, nuanced and complex. Really super. ****1/2

December 23, 2015 - From a 0.375ml bottle. Perfectly integrated, round, nuanced and so quaffable I would love if it was a magnum. Light body, but with a strong presence. Went really well with duck leg and mushrooms developing a chocolate like finish.
