Lovely Rioja, with layers of fruity, spicy and woody aromas that just make you want to sniff at your glass again and again. Balanced with a very long finish — 10 years ago

Woody and complex, has a lot of alcohol on the nose, but the spiciness and complex favors balance it out. Great by itself or paired with food. — 10 years ago

Considerably less fruity than the 2007, and less woody too - I think I might actually like it better this way, as it brings all of the pleasant herb and mineral notes to the foreground. Very tasty indeed. — 10 years ago
