Deep purple color; spicy nose of black berries, plums, dried figs, moderate oak, and roasted capers; high in acids and alcohol (14.5%) with fine tannins, concentration and a very good balance and length with interesting mint and green spices in the finish. Birthday gift from thoughtful wife with strict orders to drink this afternoon at afternoon music hour feat. Mahler’s 3:d.

Magnum - Showing some developed notes, balsamic, undergrowth, truffles but also a beguiling perfume that lends freshness. Palate if anything shows less development than the nose with some primary fruit still hanging around though not particularly expressive, a touch dull but with clear breeding and milk chocolate coated tannin, overall very charming and would work with truffle and cream based pasta dishes.

This is a sublime, well-aged 1986 Tinto Pesquera Janus Gran Reserva, served with grilled lamb along side Israeli couscous infused with cinnamon, pine nuts and raisins. A wonderful example of old-school Ribera in its prime drinking window, the rim is watery and just slightly orange-tinged. A subtle, lovely nose of dusty earth, exotic market spices, black cherries, red-skinned plum and iodine. It's medium-bodied, with fine, silken tannins. Orange zest and dried flowers on a lengthy and gratifying finish.
