Sunday, March 20, 2022 - Drunk for lunch of roast rolled lamb shoulder, with pommes Anna and braised carrots. Bright, opaque, dark ruby. Amazing length of 90+ seconds. Really well balanced. Soft tannins present without bitterness or harshness. Acids present making it food friendly and lively. The flavours were so well integrated that no one flavour dominated - hints of wood, earth and black fruits all intertwined. Drinking perfectly now - very much at its peak but still tasted good on day 3, so likely to stay at peak for quite a few years yet. Really rather lush - a rich, modern style rioja, without being overdone.
