90 Points

Monday, September 4, 2017 - Quickie drink at ES BK on a Monday night.
Stood upright more than a week already. In frosted glass Burgundy shaped bottle. Cork came out perfectly. Good fill.
Appearance is clear, pale intensity, bright ruby colour with garnet rim. Legs.
Nose is clean, medium intensity, with aromas of sweet malt sugar, light earth, sweet spice, red cherries, raisins. Developed.
On the palate, dry, medium+ acidity, medium alcohol, medium body. Medium flavour intensity, with flavours of sweet red plums, raisins, light earth, sweet spice, bits of woody remnants. Sour plums with more air. Medium finish.
Very good quality. Elegant styled traditional Rioja. No sediments at all till end of bottle!! Time to drink up and enjoy already. Simple and straightforward aged goodness. Ain't going anywhere anymore.
