Textbook old school rioja. improved considerably since I had it in 2011. Vanilla, clove, tobacco, dusty cherry on the nose. Vanilla and cedar cherry on the palate with plenty of plushness. Drink in the next 5 years. 13% abv

Old style, great reminder about the joy of tempranillo. Opened up over an hour - we should have decanted a little sooner before starting to drink it. Beautiful, slightly brown at the edge color. Long, satisfying finish.

Sort on palate and nose. Clearly old but too subtle for me!

All the good things we have come to appreciate from a good bottle of Rioja in its classic sense
