10 years of age has been good to this wine. It's got some enjoyable complexity to it. Black cherries, leather, herbs, green olives? Tannins winding down, high acidity. Wine Enthusiast says 93 points, I couldn't quite get there.

Dark ruby in color with wide brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, licorice, oak, black tea, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 63 year old Tempranillo from Rioja is still drinking nicely, although obviously not at its peak.

Soft and elegant with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant. Tangy and interesting.

Still has enough fruits in it to last another 10 years. Not showing as much complexity as I expected, but it's always nice to try these kind of old wines.

I enjoyed it very much, all by itself.

A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha. Aged in French oak barrels for 3 years. Recorcked by the winery a few years ago. Only 400 bottles made.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

Even with 9 years of bottle age there’s still a lot of youth in this #rioja #riserva 100% #graciano. Purple/red fruit on the nose, a touch reticent. Active on the palate with lively acidity and tannins continue to build with each sip. So youthful I’m eager to try the 2001 vintage of from this producer that I bought recently. — 3 years ago

Deep purple color.
Aromas of blueberry, vanilla, cocoa.
Dry. Flavors of blueberry, blackberry, vanilla, violet, peppercorn. Rich, chewy tannins. Tastes more like an Argentina Malbec.

Color of dark purple, looks thick. Nose of dense dark fruits, like currant and blackberries, some chocolate, some vanilla, a touch of oak, and some more woody cedar. Nose is not bad. Taste of ripeness, with dark fruits plus matured tannins, oaky note, some ripe grapes, a bit tobacco leaves and minerals. Some tiny refined sweetness too. Aftertaste shows some vanilla, spice, clean and enjoyable. Nice one. — 4 years ago

This says Reserva.
I didn’t know.
But… that’s some Spanish old vine Tempranillo w French barrique aging(24 mo.) hell, you could have left it in there another 24.
N: Really smells like dirt and tobacco. Black plums way back there. A Big, black nose of reined in funk.
P: Tannin city, charcoal, prunes, really begs for protein, skillfully done.
Next time, 2hrs in a decanter.
Thanks @ Garagiste. — 4 years ago
