Exemplary and archaic in style; the aromas come to life with protruding scents of leather, smoked cherries, herbs, vanilla and aged oak ending with tar and slight tobacco. The palate is layered with espresso, cocoa, recurring tobacco and oak wrapped in worn leather and asian spices. So vivid and structured throughout. So distinctly Rioja - this will drink well till 2025. — 8 years ago
Of course it's too young to drink, but it already shows an amazing insight into its potential! Parker's notes and score are on point here!
Ever so classic a Pauillac; smoke escapes the glass followed by scents of oak, plums, asian spices, cedar and pencil shavings. The palate is full-bodied and explodes with flavours of plums, blackcurrants and cassis leading into smoked cherries, cocoa and cedar. Amazing complexity and strcture. This is one for the ages! — 8 years ago

Underrated vintage; get this before it's gone! While alot 2012's show underripe fruit, this beauty is a gem amongst them!
The nose generously shows currants, plums, graphite and vanilla intermixed with cedar, cocoa powder with a silverlining of smoke and pencil shavings. The palate is mellow with black cherries, cassis, plums, cedar layered around an earthy core with some spice. Good for 15+ years from vintage. Bravo! — 8 years ago
