Cata Histórica de Abadía Retuerta (Bodega Santa Cecilia - Madrid): Reduced in the beginning. Chocolate with strawberries memories. Some wet rubber and vegetable notes, moist limestones. Very easy on the mouth. Poor persistence and good acidity that calls for food. Suppose it was the best red wine in the world in 2005 according with IWC ... CS Tempranillo and Merlot.
Cerrado en un principio. Recuerdos a chocolate con fresas. Algo de goma mojada y notas vegetales, calizas húmedas. Muy fácil en boca. Poca persistencia y una buena acidez que llama a la comida. Supongamos que fue el mejor vino tinto del mundo ... CS Tempranillo y Merlot

Weekly tasting group RWP #238: Wines with a poem (@ DJ): In the bouquet dark berry fruits, chocolate, herbs and vanilla. On the palate dark berries, cherries and chocolate as well, herbs, cassis, oak and some pleasant signs of development. Drink naw or within the next 3+ years. Nice and mature wine.

Decanted for about 30 minutes. Oak was still very forward and present. After about another 20 minutes in the glass the oak integrated and the wine became incredibly good rather than just really good.
