I didn’t decant this and the opening night glass still showed it had legs.

Birth year wine.

When we can back to it at the end of the night, it had added weight and complexity. Definitely a heady wine & a special experience.

Delicious with our rich mixed meat ragu. Gorgeous development of leather and mahogany notes but still some rich fruit left. Tannins there but integrated. — 6 months ago

Just missing a giant bowl of pasta. For $13 you cannot go wrong. Plums and blueberries with nice acidity. — 3 months ago

Compared to our previous bottle, this second of 3 bottles is drinking really nicely. I’m thinking it’s probably near peak at 13 years. Second day after opening (wine fridge with a vacuum cork stopper) its lovely, fragrant dark cherry, lithe bramble fruit nose, reminds me of Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir aromatically. Delicious tartness on palate, not a ton of weight as this is a lower-extract style and tannins have been fully tamed on the finish.#riojagranreserva — 2 months ago

Excellent. I definitely get the sour cherry. Fruit forward, big, smooth. I can’t believe the price point- would definitely get again, especially for $17 — 2 months ago
