  Full of life. Bright Rioja nose now with tertiary leather and tabaco. Stewed red fruit, no raisins or dried fruit. Lively acidity and decent finish. Enjoyable but not life altering. Good to know the vintage but wouldn’t seek it out. Better stick to 82

  Alive with acidity, some caramel on the palate. Tannins fully resolved. Length a bit short. Pretty and delicate today, but doesn't have the concentration to last much longer.

  Rather high acidity, pleasantly soft on the palate, but the tannins are drying. Classical and clean.
