Impeccable "Toe the line" wine here that straddles between classic and modern styles well. Lots of oak, concentration and flavor but in a dense layered and fresh style that will reward aging. Had the 2001 a few weeks ago and it was a beauty! Can drink now buy must decant or handsomely reward yourself and forget about it for at least 5 years. #contador #rioja #benjaminromeo

Definitely on the modern side of style. A very rewarding wine especially with some decanting.
