    A gift from a wine friend from origin, you will never find these vintages today, except you got on in your cellar,
    classic smell of balsamic notes,
    right from the start intense and delicate, the main attribute here is elegance, intense lingering elegance on the mid palate, compared to most topical bottles very light, but this lively acid frame leads to a perfect food pairing, very good with some iberico chops, great bottle, if you have one of these enjoy or hold, ***(+ -?), around 91(+)

    I have had two of these bottles recently, and they were quite similar. While pleasant plus, given the producer and the vintage, I was expecting more. I can't recall where I got them, but while there were no obvious "flaws" there may have been storage issues. The wine was easily identifiable as rioja, but it was tired. If served blind I might have guessed a much older year.
