2011 vintage. Medium body. Some chocolate, cinnamon subtleties in the ether along with the traditional cedar/tobacco one-two combo. Drinking nicely now but recommend a 2+ hour decant for serious airtime if you can swing it. 5.1.24. — 2 days ago

Incredible, classic #rioja. Still lively black, purple fruit aromas, touch of leather, earth. Animated bramble fruit continues on the tongue, absolutely integrated oak after 18 years of bottle age, velvety tannins on the finish. Yummy. — 2 months ago

Really enjoying this tasty, dry sipper. I haven't had many Riojas but this is the first one I actually like. Good stuff! — a month ago

PnP. Dark purple color almost black. Cedar, vegetation, and baking spices on the nose. Juicy wine with dark fruit, cigars, and well integrated oak. Medium plus depth and finish. Great wine at a great price. Wine Spectator nailed this one! — 2 months ago

Not lucky. Twice as lucky. Cheers. 18 was the better tasting vintage. Better balanced, softer tannins, and brighter. Cheers. — a month ago

Dry, complex, slightly savory and “funky” tastes and looks like a natural wine but I don’t remember if it is, a little salty, lovely — a month ago

I really enjoyed this. Smooth with a hint of fruity and not too heavy. — a month ago
