Wednesday, October 14, 2015 - Served to a large dinner crowd. I not a fan of Trampranillo/Rioja and not a fan of 2003, so I did not expect much from this wine. I turned out to be completely wrong. Medium garnet with brick rim. Expressive and complex nose of dried fruit, sandal wood, cedar, very pleasant and complex, not a hint of oxidation. Very soft and tame on the palate but not tired, enough acidity to keep it fresh, no alcoholic heat. A really nice, well aged wined. Very popular on the table.
