This is clearly not young, but is far from old. Color is still holding. Delicate nose with fruit, spice, mocha. Soft tannins, full round mouthfeel. Secondary notes, medium finish. Overlooked in the cellar, glad it is still quite enjoyable

Deep ruby with some bricking. A nice nose of plums, cherries, tar, and tobacco. Medium bodied, smooth, rich, concentrated palate of ripe red fruits, including some pomegranate, and some healthy tannins at the back of the palate. Is the fruit starting to dissipate? A nice wine certainly, a modern version of Rioja, but definitely not great QPR (A-).

I feared based on the notes that this woul be passed its best. It wasn't. Well into tertiary notes but still plenty of depth. Lots of tobacco, chocolate moccha notes but still bright fruit. Really enjoyed it

Bold forward ripe red fruit, cherry with prolonged acidity with tobacco earth notes culminating in a full finish

Remarkably youthful, good intensity but quite monolithic and short.
