Beautiful nose, showing lots of black fruit, sweet tobacco, a tad dusty. On the palate, nice acidity, medium tannins, long finish. Black tea and black fruit. Needed 1.5 hrs in the decanter to improve. Could age longer if you want more tertiary notes.

I served this at a Blind tasting. It showed extremely well, lots of tobacco, red, cherry, pie, leather, dark chocolate. Medium in Tannins still, could use a two hour decant. Beautiful acidity. Long finish. The entire group really enjoyed it.

Very interesting aged Rioja. Lots of tertiary coming out. Great tannin structure. Solidly in the drinking window now.
