v96. Amazing 27 year old. Very good! Soft belt leather and dried herb nose. Fresh, juicy, deep, cherry and plum fruit. Velvety smooth, long, black pepper and mocha finish. Nicely balanced.

Remarkably intact. Subtle tobacco notes, long finish. Fun wine!

1996 traveled with me from England, lasted the boat trip. Probably the best Rioja I tried...should've kept it a few more years!
