Salty AF with a hint of…mango??? on the nose and slight orange blossoms color-forming in the background. The palate is textured, reminding me of the feel of suede (forgive me, I’m a vegetarian, but remember the feel of suede). It is so soft and suave but also textured. It brings in a bitter orange, Saturn peach and peach yogurt flavor sensation, prickling with acidity and, yes, again, salinity. — a month ago

9.3

Deep ruby in color; cherries, cedar, and tabacco on the nose; high acidity; high tannins; tastes like raspberries, plums, and wet slate with a long finish. Leslie, Dante, and Jason like this wine. I love it. — 9 days ago

This bottle had been cellared since release and cork was in near pristine condition. At 54 years old, it remains a deep garnet/purple and now with loads of sediment. Classic Rioja character with dried black cherry, toasted coconut, cedar, dried flowers, leather and earth. The structure remains intact and the acid is still pretty fierce. This should continue to age very well if conditions are good. — 15 days ago

As expected, this is rich and voluptuous but somehow manages to have a sense of balance and sophistication. Drink now for its hedonism, but it really needs another 5 year also to settle down. — 11 days ago

9.8

A Giacometti sculpture of a wine, seemingly of shape, structure, balance and beauty impossible to describe if not experienced. A superfine beam of black tea tannins infused with strawberry fruit and gentle spice. Layers of compote, orange zest and lively acidity in perfect, stunning balance. — 2 days ago
