Beautiful, classic in style. Old spicy Rio with edge of cardamom and clothes and wonderful right aid strawberry elements. Great nose and long finish. Burgundian with smoke and figs. Lovely.

Great classic 52 Berberana with rich sous Bois nose and palate and lots if fruit still showing, particularly ripe strawberry. Some nice smoky overtones in the finish as well great mouth feel. Has years left to go.

Fabulous depth and richness on this extraordinary old Rioja wine. Buy this wine. It is elegant and perfectly balanced. A sleeper.

A classic Rioja nose and palate although this bottle is dominated by a slightly excessive Brett element. Otherwise a lovely, profound wine, elegant and soft and rich. Only the Brett is a distraction.
