  This magnum is still drinking fine and actually improved since last tasting. We enjoyed with beef. Great Rioja.

  Drank last evening, so tasting note from memory.
  Medium garnet.
  Medium bodied, tannins well integrated.
  Drinking well, probably 2-3 years of life.
  I doubt that it will improve.

  Smoothed out compared to my last tasting with no hint of the bitterness noted in my previous note. This one has definitely improved with time, though I'm not sure it has a whole lot left in it. Oxidation is becoming noticable.

  Farven er dyb mørkerød
  
  Duften har toner af, mørkerøde/sorte brombær og kirsebær, lidt blåbær, violer, røde tørret blomster, modet læder, lidt hængt kød, flotte milde brændte træ toner med et touch af vanilje, lille sød tobaks tone.
  
  Smagen er smooth af duften, modne mørkerøde/sorte kirsebær, et frisk touch af blåbær, røde brombær.
  Tone af moden læder, blod/kød, ristet træ, en toner af noget grønt bitterhed. En god kølig lille frugtsødme kommer frem i smagen.
  Frugten virker moden med også med et frisk moden touch.
  
  Syren er mild og renser lige tandkødet.
  
  Tannin af, knuste kirsebærkerner, sort/grønt te, lidt grønt bitterhed.
  God tør eftersmag.
  
  Ekstra. Vinen har fået langt større balance af at ligge og udvikle sig. (smagt for 5 år siden, alt for lukke, for meget træ).
  
  Vinen har en ret tæt struktur/virker u filtreret.
  Den er god nu, men kan godt ligge.
  19 feb: Også rigtig god på 2 dag. (tættere moden frugtsmag/struktur)
  Zalto Burgunder glas.

  Great wine in its style, not overwhelmed by the oak, fruity and still young however giving huge pleasure and I would not wait longer as it may lose its freshness and vigour.
