Solid gran reserva. Needs 2 hours decant to reveal itself. Everything is there: oak, spices, fruit, freshness, acidity, depth. It’s close to its peak I think.

Strong dose of vanilla and a little raisin on the nose. Much darker and denser in terms of appearance and palate than the Barolo that came before it. Good concentration but very primary at the moment.

Unmistakably traditional rioja w notes of american oak (toast, dill, little smoke) but also fresh and vibrant with good intensity red berries and silky mouthfeel. Long finish. Fresh w energy but with added complexity from the winemaking and some age. Enjoyable.

Age has treated this wine well, revealing complexity and structure to go along with the classic Rioja taste profile…
Cheers!

Herbs and sweet spices in the bouquet. On the palate red berries, bell pepper, red berries and juicy acidity.
