Wonderful fragrant aged Rioja. Blackcurrant and cherry on both the nose and palate. Colour now quite tawny on the edge. Overall quite aged but the acidity holds up wonderfully; long finish and excellent with food. Very glad I left this one so long.

4th and final bottle from our Marben dinner... so my notes for this one aren't as detailed or focused... Hence the lack of a score. Medium ruby colour. Smooth, with good concentration of dark fruit. Sharp tannins on the finish.

It's alive! Red cherry candy, raspberry preserves, plum guts, wood box, cinnamon stick in cider, hoisin/sweet soy. Lush palate, with a savory, somewhat bitter, finish.
