Monday, February 8, 2021 - Probably this wine based on the information that I can get from the cork.
Decanted about an hour prior to serving. I would not recommend decanting this wine as it's approaching its end.
Medium hue showing quite a bit of evolution.
When allowed to warm up, the characteristic aromas of Rioja came through.
Iron, earthy notes, cedar, elevated plum aromas, eau-de-vie and spices.
Good acidity, fairly light mouthfeel and relatively short finish though still very polished. Makes an excellent dinner wine.
