  55F, PnP. Deep garnet/black. Nose with a bit of funk and hint of fruit.Some acid and dry tannins. Chocolate and jam with high note of lemon. Really not too bad for past prime.

  Dark purple with a hint of garnet. Early cranberries and cinnamon evolved to prune and rasin spice. Palate is dusty acidic fruit with spice and medium tannins. After decanting it’s got a mellow spice and better balanced acid and tannins.

  The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are slow. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like gooseberry. The body is medium. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

  Fruitier than I remembered. Dark, a tiny bit grapey. Not what I usually consider a traditional Rioja, but of course it isn't one. Did not accompany the pork very well.
  The wine looks purple colored. It tastes like raisin, prune and black currant (cassis).
