Juicy, jammy and still full of life. This surprised me in the best ways.

This bottle was even better than previous bottles, after 2 hours of air. Soft yet powerful. Tongue tipping spice elements layered on a rich ripe black fruit palate

Dried strawberry & orange peel, balsamic glaze, curing salts, mint & pine needle with velvety tannins and expressive, juicy fruit. Great color with zero off biological notes.

Classic Rioja This Riserva is soft spicy and fall of elements of clove, cedar wood, rosewood, and Ebony. Nice wine but the 1952 grand reserve is superior.
