  Nose: Medium intensity with aromas blackcurrant, wet stones, prune, earth and farmyard.
  Palate: dry with high acidity and medium(-) tannins. Medium body with medium flavour intensity and aromas of blackcurrant, black plum, prune, ceder and mushroom.
  
  Lite besviken, trodde den skulle smaka mer.

Pronounced taste of raisins, fig, cedar, coffee beans, leather, earth, wet leaves, forest floor and caramel. Long and dry finish. High acidity. High and fine grained tannins. Full body. A very good Rioja Gran Reserva at Peak. Drink now. Goes well with beef or lamb.

  Brick ruby rim, oak, cherry, leather, still fresh with lasting tannins, great Rioja after 28 years!
