Sunday, April 23, 2023 - Fully soaked crumbly cork, -2cm fill level... this wine had me worried. But Rioja showed itself indestructible once again. This was still ruby (with a garnet rim) in the glass, and needed a few minutes to unfurl. After that, it showed intense cherry, strawberry, blueberry, some tea, a touch of vanilla, leather, oak and integrated tannins. This was intense, and stayed on its feet (easily) until the last drop. If you have a good bottle, this is drinking at its peak now (depending on your preference obviously)!
