Kept under condition 2 since about 2015 (see my profile). Popped and poured. Already a mature wine, still with some fruit and despite some unresolved tannins, I guess. Maybe past its top, maybe we had to wait four hours after opening the bottle (see the previous TN). 88-89.

Cedar aromatics w/some herbs and dried red fruit (red cherry, craisins). Elegant & med bodied, leaning toward rustic & structured after a couple hours of air. Still has life but I thought this was in a great spot.

Awesome Rioja. Delicious nose. Deep and complex.

Spicy and energetic. Pared well with spicy meatball sandwiches. After breathing, it fully integrated and mellowed.

Still good. Needs 4 hours of opening or an hour decanting. Not likely to get any better from here.
