Nicely aged, shows good balance between fruit and secondary flavors.

Raspberry, ripe cherry, grilled steak, wet leather, licorice, Brett. Bretty on palate. Great for cheap.

It may have been past it’s prime due to exposure to oxygen. It was a 10 year old wine with a brittle cork.

Lip lickingly Liquorice loveliness. 2007 bottle of joy. Just right for a cheaky glass or two when you want some good value indulgence.

Disappointing. Every time I drink Rioja, I realize that if you want to drink quality, you have to stick to the old proven producers. La Rioja Alta, Lopez, CVNE, et al. This bottling reaffirms it.

Dried sage, cherry kirsch, with a little fresh cranberry on the nose. Juicy and well balanced in the mouth, with some cured meat (salami?), olive and sweet tobacco underneath. Good acid on the medium finish.
