  3/6, good cork (slight mould on end).
  Deep ruby core, narrow pale ruby rim. Nose shows ripe black and red berry fruit, vanilla oak, touch of mocha and clove. Medium/full bodied, ripe fruit, spice, touch of mocha, vibrant acidity, some slightly tacky tannins on teh medium length finish. Probbaly worth leaving for a while just to see if it comes round. Next bottle 2026ish.

  Deep red in the glass, this is a velvety smooth Rioja Reserva in its prime. There are no signs of age at 12 years with only a medium-light sediment at the bottom of the bottle. The nose is dominated by cherry and some dark fruits. Body is medium-full with bitter cherry, decent acidity and smooth, silky tannins, all in the right proportions. At this stage, I'd expect this Rioja Reserva to hold good for another 5-8 years. Brilliant value!

  Open for business as soon as the cork is pulled, this is a deep, velvety red in the glass with powerful dark fruit aromatics on the nose. There is lovely balance of dark fruits, mild acidity and soft tannins with a satisfying mid-palate of chocolate and a long finish. This seems in its prime with possibly another 5 years enjoyable life ahead. No rush.

  Tannnins have softened really nicely since last bottle. Very good window to drink now though will definitely last few more years.

  Beim Korkenziehen fette Vanille. Im Glas Leder, Brombeere, etwas Säure, noch gut packendes aber beginnend schmelzendes Tanin. Etwas Schokolade. T+1 Kirsche, lecker!
