Another Outstanding Nite (Restaurante Garcia de la Navarra - Madrid): Smelling like that black tyre burnt under the sun used by kids as lifesaving at the beach. Aromas of violets are far away from this stuff. The second drop was turbid. Really bizarre. Drinkable yet almost flawed.
Huele como esos neumáticos negros quemados por el sol que los críos usan como salvavidas en la playa. Los teóricos aromas a violetas están muy lejos de este vino. El segundo chorro era turbio. Realmente no es normal. Bebible aunque casi fallido.

After a corked bottle and a just acceptable bottle a couple of weeks ago, this bottle was a welcome surprise. The wine is clearly past its peak but still very good. Impressive aroma, some sweetness, adequate acidity and a medium to long finish.

Considerably past its top. No fruit left. Bit metallic. Drinkable but not memorable.
