This is really nice for the cold snap we're experiencing today.
Warm and full of holiday flavors. Spiced fruit, balsamic, dried herbs, plenty of leathery tannins. An inexpensive Rioja that would please at Thanksgiving. Give it an hour to open up.

Love it. All the things I like. Big syrupy mouthfeel, loads of character and layers of funky smells Stewed veggies and alit of barnyard grunginess, touch of VA. Long length. It’s so different and it feels like TERRIOR whatever the hell thats suppose to mean. I really like this. — 8 years ago

Of all the old Rioja I’ve been drinking this last year this, together with the Marqués de Riscal 1964, stands out the most. A stunning wine with mindblowing complexity. A true joy to drink. The bottle was finished extremely fast. — 7 years ago
