Saturday, March 26, 2016 - Fabulous aged rioja. Perfect acid backbone with lots of secondary black fruit, raisin, chocolate, and spice. Mellowed after an hour and lost some structure but still very enjoyable especially considering it's not even a reserva.

Keep in mind that, in Rioja a wine should be 36 months waiting to be a Reserva (24 of them in oak)
I am waiting a special occasion to drink my bottle of this vintage, can't wait.
