Classic Rioja, clean medium plus body, well balanced, blackberry, clove, oak, a slight hint of butter, tobacco, and licorice. Best until day 2. Always good.

This bottle is even better than the previous one. At first the Viognier component didn't show much but gradually it shows itself and finishes the wine with elegance. Also this is the first bottle that lasts till day 3 and still delicious, which means the intensity is greater than previous vintages. Apple, lemon, apricot, peach, flower. Very pleasant yellow color. Again the best QPR of Rhone blancs.

Full-bodied of course, sharp (Szechuan) pepper, high alcohol 15%, raspberry+blackberry, cloves, cedar, menthol. Thick but soft tannins. Best for on day 2.
