Rioja & Rhône(style): Mid garnet with a browning rim. Moderately rich, mature Rioja, richer than 904 or Tondo, but not at CVNE VR levels. Very 73. Some orange peel, soft red fruit and gently worn leather. Long. Holds well. This is lovely — not worth holding on any longer, it’s gorgeous. ****

Quite drinkable in a mature style. No longer at peak, but showing an interesting mixture of fruit, acidity with light tannins.

Dang good wine! Perfect with rack of lamb. Tons of beautiful tertiary flavors with good acidity moving it forward

Wow! What a beautiful old Rioja. Reminds me somewhat of old Borolo.

Very brick-ish color. Incense, a little vanilla, maybe a little funk in the smell. Medium body. A little acidity still there. Medium body.
