Fantastic nose with almost a Burgundy soul (97 was very wet). Well handled oak, complexity, acidity and elegance

Gave off a lot of brett at first....then that subsided and Blue and Black fruits spread out on the palette, followed by cherry pipe tobacco and sweet fig. Fantastic slow aging value Rioja.

I just straight up love this stuff. Every time. Young and still a bit brooding but a deft delivery of balance and power.

Maturing nicely. Would rate higher but couldn't shake bitter espresso character...these wines are certainly marked more by oak than other traditional houses imho
