So much more fruit than the 81. A muskiness about it but we don't think it's corked.

Viña monty quizás el más flojito de todos pero a muy buen nivel. Notas más ahumadas en nariz y quizás el más oxidado de los tres.

Lovely, classic Rioja wine. Great spice and ripe strawberry and intense fruit flavors. Intense nose, pallet and finish. A terrific food wine.

Fresher than the 82 but still not great. Crowd was split between the two but I definitely preferred this one.

Surprisingly fruit-forward for an gran reserva. Supple, elegant, velvety tannins. Beautiful.
