Russk. Greg+Friends at Marido's. Nose old Rioja. Mouth cherry for days. Weight is light-Med bodied. Showing nicely, notwithstanding it's age and price. They are in Rioja Alta. 90+. Maybe I should start buying them again.

Drank with small block of Mohan cheese and wafer crackers. Went together very well. Pretty good amount of acid which works for food. Hints of currant, tobacco and port/sherry on the nose, a moderate mouth feel with a light touch of slightly sweet cherries and moderate complexity. The finish is on the quick side. Pretty decent QPR...

Black cherries with hints of cherry-flavored cough syrup, raisins, tobacco and a bit of barnyard funk. Very nice, long finish as well. Great with veal. Keep drinking it with a dessert of York peppermint patties - a revelation.

Soft cherry fruit and vestiges of oak. Light in the mouth, tasty and soft. This modestly priced bottle has cellared well.

Quite good for the price - nice oak notes that weren't too strong. Good fruit. Nice acidity.
