60 year old vines. Wonderful robust chocolates, with raisins, black cherry.

I was surprised by the high acidity, for an oaky wine. Not so common both aspects together. I liked, should evolve better in another 5 years

16 years old and still there. Worthless cork as always with this wine; had to put it through a coffee filter. Spices on te nose, dustiness, modest ripe fruits. Good acidity ont the Palate of Stewed red fruits, creamy Lindt chocolate and again spices, like walking into and Indonesian toko. Very nice

This wine always displays lots of freshness, sometimes too fresh but tonight it strikes just right! (And always a shitty cork) Rioja all over it and very balanced. Persistent long finish. Peaking I guess..

Started out too fresh, almost as if not good but turned along the way. Def rioja with vanilla notes all over the place😉. Good length.

Christmas pudding and jealousy - or perhaps an argument at Thanksgiving. Candies fruits, rum, coconut. Soft and dusty on the palette.
