Christmas lunch date at V. Mertz. Poured into a decanter just before service. No formal notes. The wine is vinous and showing lovely secondary notes. A mix of red and dark desiccated fruits, leather, mocha, pipe tobacco, earth and baking spices. Tannins have mostly integrated. A fully mature wine that ready to drink and an excellent pairing with the grilled pork pate melt.

At first felt too was a bombed out shell of a Ribero--but really at end of day had some elegant aromatics & lovely lingering fruit.

Molt bo, potser un puntet més alcohòlic que el 2008, però òptim per beure’l. Cos mig-alt, rodó en boca amb un punt d’aspror final. Regust llarguet.

Espectacular després 11 anys, al punt òptim per beure! Vi 100% tempranillo, mot rodó i ben acabat. En nas fruita vermella madura, flors seques i punts balsàmics. Entrada mitja que després sobre en boca amb gran volum i complexitat, un puntet estringent final. Molt equilibrat. Regust molt llarg. Per disfrutar.
