Cork was a little soft but the wine surprised me. Medium maroon with orange around the rim. These need to consumed soon in my opinion. Leather on the nose. Black cherry and tart cherry with savory notes on the palate. I picked up a trace of green bell pepper too. Still an enjoyable drink on a cold gloomy autumn evening.

An amazing powerful bouquet of rose and tobacco and warm leather. Gentle and delicate on the palate with a medium body of dried fig.

Another excellent bottle of Faustino. Brilliant old Rioja.

Definitely dead and well past any enjoyment level. I shared it with 3 others who all made bad faces and poured it out.
