Saturday, September 12, 2020 - Dinner hosted by Ashley and Bill...playing the part of somm for the evening, wine from my cellar (Chez Schofiled - Princeton, NJ): Two 750s, drank after an 05 Torre Muga. Decanted for about 2 hours prior to drinking.

Deep ruby color. Nose showing dark red fruits, cedar, violets, smoke. Palate of dark raspberry, cherry, plum, leather, floral pastille. Classically styled Rioja, oak (American) is present. Medium/full body, long finish.

Interesting comparison with the Muga - if doing again I would serve this one first to show the "old" Rioja style. True to form, this wine is evolving slowly, drinking well now but with a considerable window still ahead of it. I paid ~$45 for this at release, incredible QPR
