This is a big one, bold, juicy, with real presence of the 16% alcohol despite the age. Nose of blackberry, pine wood, vanilla, band-aid, somewhat musty clothes, and cacao. The age is definitely there in the musk and dustiness, but it’s unclear what to expect with a beast like this. Full bodied, dark purple/red and deep color, but no sense of the age in the color. Palate shows more of the age, deep chocolate notes, overripe plum, driftwood, slate and some malo-like milky elements. The alcohol is definitely there, with a finish like menthol, softened but present, well integrated tannins, with those Chico-raspberry like hints lingering for a long time into a finish that’s round and somewhat meaty. Weirdly, VERY strangely, tastes a little bit like skin. — 8 days ago

Dark and oily. Fig and molasses. Earthy flavors with treacle. Coffee and wine. So complex and savory. Gorgeous — 3 months ago

Had the 2021 vintage in November 2025. Very good, bought it at Trader Joe’s because I visited this town in the Rioja region and liked their wines. Not disappointed with this one. — 2 months ago
