1hr+ decant. Nice red color with maroon edges. Classic Bordeaux nose with flowers, cedar, and cherries. Similar on the palate with a lovely texture. Not super deep, but solid finish. — a year ago

Had it for my 40th birthday. It didn’t disappoint. It had very fine tannins and acidity. Lots of leather, cigar and cedar. Fruit almost gone. — 8 years ago

9.0

Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, forest floor, plum, cherry, currants, spice and bbq. On the palate, blueberry, blackberry, cherry, plum, and high acidity right out of the bottle. After breathing some, notes of cedar, minerals, tobacco, and spice, carrying through to a longer finish of cherry, vanilla and mint. Tannins strong but balanced. — 3 years ago

Blueberries, herbs, and cedar. Complex, elegant, and intense. Such a lovely wine. Decanted for about four hours and served with lamb — a magnificent combination. — 4 years ago

In a really pretty spot right now. Secondary aromas of cedar, dried earth, and baked black currants. People love collecting this wine - I get it now. Solid and dependable Medoc example — 6 years ago

This is really coming along nicely since I first had it in 08. Smooth. The secondary cedar and tobacco are staring to come in. Good balance and structure. — 11 years ago

Incredibly intoxicating nose. Classic style Rioja that will only get better. Vibrant sour cherry with tobacco. Hints of cedar. Medium plus to long finish. Delicious!! — 13 years ago
