Pretty stellar wine, twenty six year old RdD magnum gran reserva. Took hours and hours to fully open, even after decanting. Initially there’s a lot of barnyard, fungus, funk, sweat, musty leather smells but it does turn the corner eventually to violets, humid forest, wet dirt, and even some soy sauce. On the pallet it becomes very balanced and round with wet rose petals, dates, dirt and ever so slightly spicy. The wine is completely integrated. Just keeps me yearning for old wine.

Very nice. Multilayered. Vanilla, cherry, nicely balanced. Dry, good tannins, and nice acidity.

I told the sommelier that I wanted Pedro Almodovar in a bottle, so we went to Spain this evening and never looked back. A mysterious smoky cherry wine enflamed with passion and intrigue. #adios
