Medium deep ruby garnet core , with garnet terracotta rim . Lots of dry spice , clove , cinnamon , with strawberry and cherry jam . On the palate spiced raspberry and strawberry , slightly earthy , porcini note , with nice balancing fresh acidity and suave velvety tannins , balanced alcohol . Good refreshing vanilla tinged finish . With more time , there is a mineral , stony note on the finish . Within its drinking window , but with lots to show over the next 7-15 years — 11 days ago

Decanted this four hours and drank over the next two and it just kept delivering. Easily the best Rioja I’ve had and showed considerably better than the ‘17 CVNE a couple nights before. Looking forward to tasting this vintage again in a few years. — 18 days ago

Crazy to say but…too young! Balanced and dark but has yet to develop the spice rack subtleness and tannins can still evolve further — 13 days ago

Less complex than the 904, but just as enjoyable, and way more approachable — 3 months ago

No notes. Who needs notes for an old friend? Always delish. Perhaps missing some of its usual tension, which makes me wonder if this was a warm vintage. — 2 months ago
