Good color with some bricking. Tangy blue fruit. Dark cherry. Some subtle stinky stuff. A touch of tobacco. Pretty. Jef ROPP

Still lots of fruit. Well balanced. Plums. Obvious notes of age. In the nose could be Barolo or Bordeaux, but on the palate, clearly #rioja

Still youthful and sassy, both elegant and powerful. Time will balance this nectar and will drink well for another 20 years. Blend dominated by tempraniilo (85%) . Thus Ygay is on a roll!

Brilliant. Primary grape is temporaniilo in this baby. At 14 years, it is still unfolding and benefits from decant. Great juice
