Of all the old Rioja I’ve been drinking this last year this, together with the Marqués de Riscal 1964, stands out the most. A stunning wine with mindblowing complexity. A true joy to drink. The bottle was finished extremely fast. — 7 years ago

Lovely nose of dried fruit and nuts, soft and elegant on the plate, with a hint of dryness on the finish. Layered on the palate and lingers in the mouth. -En Rama NYC popup — 8 years ago
