Fruitier than I expected with aromas and flavors of fresh black currents, plums, and blackberries. Vanilla, smoke and clay pot round out the notes. Tannins are nicely adhesive and the acidity is med plus. Decently long dark chocolate finish. Maybe a bit of residual sugar here but it could be the 14.5% alcohol. Nice, not amazing, but definitely a good drinker. — 3 days ago

First time tasting this bottling. Very enjoyable, but probably just past its zenith. Quite contemporary for a Spanish Tempranillo. Good fruit profile, with tobacco and herbs. A little iron and singed leaves come along for the ride. Finishes with persistence. A great value. — 22 days ago

Scents of black plum and lavender. Black fruit and spice with a dusty black plum finish. Would have benefitted from more time in the cellar and a decant. Good with bacon wrapped dates stuffed with goat cheese. — 3 days ago

Very subtle nose of black cherry. Dark red fruit, leather, tobacco. Firm tannins and enough acidity to stand up to marinated artichoke hearts and Iberico jamon. — a day ago

What more can I say about aged Rioja? These are true gems for those looking for beautifully aged wines that drink like champions. This 88 was a winner and no where near its end. Easily another 10 years. — 6 days ago
