  October 2, 2021 - My experience was very different from the earlier reviews. Maybe it was providence (bought mine from Rare Wine Co, who acquired the wines on release from the producers). A beautiful expression of Rioja.

  November 7, 2020 - Election Celebration Continues (The Fisters - Chicago IL): Pleasant and almost enjoyable, still hanging in after these years, but nothing noteworthy.

  July 15, 2020 - Decanted for 90 minutes. Right out of the bottle it was brown water. It did open and had pruney and cedar notes on the nose. No fruit left really, mostly acid but did still have some tannins to balance a bit. Wish I'd had this 20 years ago ;-)

  Palate: high acid, med tannin, leather, earth, cherry.
  
  Funky, super tertiary, brett sneaking in. More of an "experience" than I wine to enjoy.
