  12/28/2021 - Neecies Does not like this wine:

  Starchy, lacks fruit and spice and without those, how can you pretend you're a Rioja? Did not enjoy one bit.

  This came across a little more flabby than the prior showing and while still very tasty seemed to be nearing end of life. Drink up.

  Found these in the cellar and glad I did. This is drinking great, right out of the bottle. Maybe darker than expected, not showing much age on the rim. Nose is pure with medium ripe plum and dark cherry fruit. Maybe a tinge of smoke, leather and meat. Palate is medium bodied, crisp with good acidity, relatively soft tannins. This is lovely, really nice fruit, enough complexity and really great balance.

  Didn’t let to air. Soft tannins that bloom. Nice acid, not too strong. Dark fruit, pepper and smoke. Good minerality light to med body. Great to drink now.

  85% Tempranillo, 15% Syrah. Clear, medium ruby – powdery candied violets, smoked meat, black cherry, spices, menthol. Medium+ acid, medium tannins, 13.9% ABV, medium body, medium finish. I was surprised by the smoked meat aspect until I was reminded that there is 15% Syrah in the blend. Complex and fun to drink and contemplate. Can drink now, but has potential for aging.
