  Superb. A generous nose (that still has gifts in its back pocket, if that isn't too weird a mixed metaphor). Almost fully integrated in its delivery, holding back only enough to promise further (perhaps lengthy) growth in the bottle.
  Drunk without the food it was plucked from the cellar for: boneless lamb on the grill. Can't wait.
  Another reminder that Rioja wines are probably the greatest present values.
  And to open, eventually, some old in the same cellar (1970).

  Decent tannin structure, decent length, but fruit and acidity too weak. Not very exciting at this point.

  Berries. currant , vanilla and smokiness. Soft tannins - drinks well. Enjoyed it with grilled steak burritos.
