  Strong savoury style. Rich without much in the way of fruit sweetness.
  
  A bit of stinky mouse poo that does not add to the wine!

  From a cold cellar this was sharp, with bones of acid. Breathing and warmth worked wonders. Quite an interesting old school Rioja that has needed 10 years of age just to get started.
  
  14.5%, cork.

  Komplext, välutvecklad doft. Mycket gott för sej själv eller med lite ost och självklart till middagen. Kommer köpa igen. 4+

  Medium body. Nice aroma of mainly wood and oak. Nice ruby color. Still high acidity relatively. Flat on the palate. All in all... nothing to write home about.

  Dark ruby. A nose of red plums, mushrooms, earth and cedar. A suggestion of an old polished mahogany set of drawers. In the mouth, smoky plums, raspberries and dried red cherries, soil, old leather and dry brush. Medium bodied with sufficient acidity. Rounded tannins (presumably from old, large format oak). Fully developed. Sharp, somewhat thin finish with a little bitterness. Drink by 2025.
