Just had this a few months ago, commented that I wanted to see how it would age. Better hide the rest of that’s what I want. I sure is lovely right now. — 4 years ago
It tastes like the smell of an English (French as well???) cellar…!!!!…!!! — a month ago
2010. Got a lot of time left. Dark dusty fruit, dill pickle barrel, vanilla, earth, stony minerality and nice acid. — 2 years ago
This is actually the Reserva. 75% Tempranillo and 25% Garnacha blend. Bold aromas and flavors of black berry, black licorice, cedar, earth and tobacco. Broad and generous texture. Moderate acidity. There is still muscular (yet dusty) tannin present. A pretty short, but oak oak dominant, finish. Thank You Ron B! Revisited in March 2023. Above notes still apply. — 3 years ago
A very competent Rioja Reserva recommended by an Argentine friend for tapas meal out. Bright & confident in its cherry & vanilla notes, with enough barrel age to round it out & give some balsamic- as in aged, quality balsamic-depth. Kind of like a haircut that doesn’t surprise or disappoint. And a decent restaurant bottle under 40$ is always a good thing… — 3 years ago
A subtley spicy number. Smooth and dark, yummy treat from Tim enjoyed with NFL and plenty of cheese. — 4 years ago

Not every day you get to drink a 22 year old wine. This Rioja had all the aging characteristics. Wide orange ora around the rim, oak, earth and cigar infused with dried fruit (that way, not the other way around). The oak was still so strong, I can only imagine how it would have been upon first release. It had lots of uplift g vibrancy and the layers of complexity made it a real interesting wine. — a month ago
