  In a good place right now… Nice and savoury blackberry and black cherry fruit, vanilla, baking spices, leather. Tannins are unobtrusive and it’s lacking any bitterness even straight from the bottle. Long finish.

  Mature Rioja tasting: Deep ruby color.
  On the nose, there are aromas of ripe blackberries, cherries, and plums, along with hints of vanilla, spice, and leather.
  On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-structured, with a balanced acidity and fine tannins.
  Flavors of dark fruit, chocolate, and tobacco emerge, leading to a long and satisfying finish with a touch of oak. The wine is mature and approachable, but still has the potential to age further in the bottle.
  can drink now - but suitable for further aging, which will improve it.

  Has aged beautifully - smooth, integrated tannins.

  Reticent smoke and mushroom nose faded over a few days
  Canada mayflower berries, iron, smoked meat, tea and strawberry flavors were all fine, but did not like the watery body of the wine
  JOSCH48's review of the experience of drinking the 2010 would be almost exactly the same as mine of the 2012, but I conclude more harshly based on my dislike of this wine's structure
  
  The 2014's exuberant fruit seemed unbalanced last fall, but I may open it earlier than intended in case it's necessary to adorn a rickety skeleton
