Community Tasting Note

StefanAkiko Likes this wine:

Saturday, April 26, 2014 - Brownbag in Göteborg by Finewines.se (Göteborgs Vinkällare): Dark, mature red color.
The nose took a while for me to dissect. With the great noses around the table I soon saw the light. Dark, mellow and earthy notes that grew well. Speaks clearly of age with a fabulous aromatic palette of butter and BBQ sauce with some 'liquid smoke'.
In the mouth it is becomingly oxidized from its age, has integrated its barrel time well and still both acidic and tannic bite. Dark cherries jam, a hint of dill and a fine pice of butter on top. Full bodied wine and all grapes snuggly and seamlessly integrated.

Our blinded discussions started in Spain, travelled the World, only to return to Spain. We then scratched Rioja and with small assistance from M.E. finally scratched also Priorat and landed with Vega Sicilia. Almost correct :-)
A fabulous, fabulous wine!
Owners with good btls can keep their treasures for many more years, however, it is fully mature now.
