Waiter opened, cork broke so he decanted. Fantastic nose of leather and cherry, background of tobacco and chocolate. Palate was cherry, slightly creamy, subtle spice, leather. Palate and nose started to fade after 1 hour.

Beautifully balanced and creamy and smooth rioja. Medium body aromatics with a Berry dominant nose. Smooth mouthfeel with cherry, chocolate and vanilla dominate taste. A simply beautiful and delicate wine. Not huge but delicate and balanced

Popped and poured so these are the initial notes. An up front and expressive aroma with some aged leather and cherry. The mouth feel is slightly creamy with balanced acidity which allow the bright cherries to dance on the palette. This probably needs a few hours. Yet a wonderful wine right now.

Nice cherry aromas and also chocolate notes on the nose. Paired with pasta and sausage ragout. Good coffe and chocolate taste on the finish, with some nice woody flavors as well. Just a perfect rioja!

A "wow" wine; really enjoyable and will need to find more. Decanted 2.5 hours. Bright, rich garnet in the glass. Full aroma of black cherries, coffee and violets. Expressive in the mouth with black cherries, spice box and minerals - deep and complex. Long finish. Served blind and caught the guests and I off guard.
