  95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano from Rioja Alavesa (not Alta) aged 24+ month in new American and French oak barrels, 13.5% vol.
  
  Decanted an hour before dinner but this was mutch too short, last sip after an additional hour was the best. On the nose red fruit and black berries with a first suggestion of tertiary notes, the oak seems to be integrated now. On the palate fine tannin, dry with medium acidity, full bodied and long finish.
  
  Rather classic Rioja that requires a lot of air in this phase, I will wait a couple of years with my next bottle.

  Primary red and black fruit nose. Very refined at this point. Silky, smooth tannin with enough fruit intensity to keep all in balance. Much better at this point in it’s life than the last bottle tasted 2 years ago.
