Nice blend of traditional and modern Rioja but leaning more traditional. Medium weight, some dill and tobacco on palate and nose. Not made for long cellaring. Went well with smoked ribs

Rather disappointing. I think we opened this one too early. Muted fruit, plenty of sweetish tannin an ultimately not very rioja-ish. Patience, boy, patience.

Very nice - worried it would be past but not at all - should last a little longer although very good right now

See previous notes. The bottle aged beautifully and paired great with some barbecued prime rib.

Vínsmakk #1 vor 2014 (Marbakkabraut 12): Þriðja flaska í vínklúbbi. Ónýt. Klassískur korkur.
