  Last bottle of this vintage- we now move back to the 2009. As I stated before this has turned out to be a very good year for this wine. It is very Rioja and a lovely accompaniment to roast pork. Decanted for 30 minutes which allowed the smoky barbecue meat flavour to emerge after dinner. No need to hurry this one.

  One hour decant. Inky black cherry color. Blackberries, black cherry, oak and subtle spices. Smooth, rich and balanced with perfect tannic grip. Long finish. Delightful Tempranillo.

  How traditional do you want? because this was pure Rioja and drank wonderfully with Spanish milk fed lamb. Great stuff

  Decanted for an hour. Mmm, delicious plush aromas of dark berries and cedar wood, with a hint of blood and smoke. The palate is big and fruity, inky dark fruit, with hints of licorice, and strong tannins. Definitely young, but eminently drinkable!
