  It is a bit past it 2017 upper limit, but it carried well. Not the best rioja, but I like it.

  A very modern style Rioja. On the nose, lots of vanilla and oak. Fruit is hiding underneath, but it's dark. The wine is just barely starting to show it's age in the color with ever so slightly bricking at the rim. On the palate the wine is a little hot on the attack. Tannins are fine and well integrated. Fruit is blackberries, dried cranberries, a hint of tobacco, vanilla, fresh cut oak. Finish is a little hot, but not unpleasant. Drink or hold.

  Blackberry and mineralogy on the nose of this well-aged wine, with no signs of bricking in the ruby red color, slightly opaque. Flavors are subtle, medium-bodied, with raspberry balanced with mineralogy (iron?), with fine-grained tannins. Was a perfect match with Balsamic, Honey, and Garlic Pork Chops with a side of sautéed spinach with smokey blue cheese sauce. Again, amazed by how well this wine has aged into an elegant, food-friendly wine. Glad I've still got one more bottle in the cellar - will drink soon!

  Balsamic notes, fleshy plums, nice acidity, stays comfortably in the mouth, the finish is not convincing a bit dry and short otherwise could easily go in a different league. Not bad but not convincing either.

  Drinking well though don’t wait much longer. Plenty of tannins remain and they are smooth and integrated. Dark berries, a little smoke.
