  Earthy, restrained. Lots of acidity, cool blueberry and vegetable soup. Very fine soft tannins. Plenty of time left here…

  Off the list at Rekondo. A wine that benefited from air over the course of a long dinner. Gorgeous aromatics from the get go -- sour cherry, herbs, earth, leather and American Oak dill. Palate was a bit lightweight and short to start, but filled out nicely with time. Last glass was the best. At the end of a peak window.

  Se abre dos horas antes sin decantar lo que elimina olores sucios de botella y acidez volátil. Color picota oscuro atejado. Aroma intenso, fruta matizada negra con ligera madera, cuero y notas animales, va evolucionando a tabaco de pipa y especies orientales y té. , la fase olfativa es magnifica, equilibrada, y muy viva. La boca es suave, tamizada, sedosa y amable, con taninos fundidos y dulces, cuerpo y estructura medias, acidez perfecta atendida su edad, lo único que podrá decirse es que es menos expresiva que la nariz, a pesar de lo cual hay notas de fruta negra pasificada o seca; en retronasal aparece fruta negra y roja en compota acompañada de terciarios. No tiene capacidad de mejora y si tiene alguna botella no tarde en abrirla.
  
  Sorprende la media tan baja de este vino, y no la comparto en absoluto. Para mí es un vino que ha envejecido magníficamente, muy maduro y con tenencias austeras, y clásicas y que mantiene las características de los grandes reservas de rioja

  A lovely, fully mature wine that has aged gracefully with gentle, sweet, refined fruit, notes of damsons, good energy and freshness and still has lots of life ahead.

  Youthful fruit that is ripe and perfumed with a liquor kind of richness and sap but also balanced with bright acidity. There is a prominent scent of coconut on the nose too. Lovely wine now but very intense wine, feels unresolved, powerful and still coiled up, and I imagine this is just the beginning of its life.
