Deep red, nose of BlackBerry with hint of cranberry, starts a bit tight and acidic but after several hours of air opens to ripe blackberry and cassis with hint of vanilla oak, lingering finish of black fruit and tea notes. Still young. — 10 years ago

Old school, Old World, Traditional, Rustic style Rioja. Dried dark cherry, plum, old leather, black olive, Balsamic notes, chocolate, SMOKE n’ toasty, forrest floor, earthy-mineral something, “Huele a tierra mojada”, a hint of a funky “Grandma’s closet” - but in a good way, dried rose petals...at least 16 years bottled but singing like a canary from the moment I uncorked it and poured it into the glass (absolutely no decanting needed), incredibly expressive and perfumed, silky silky tannins, nice old-school-Rioja acidity, long and delicious finish. 19 years old and it is clearly peeking...go get some #Lat42 #Rioja #Spain #Partylikeits1999 🇪🇸🍷 — 7 years ago
