We opened the bottle with zero expectations. Twenty four years is a long tlme to spend in a bottle. It sat like an hour in the decanter. The color was good, the bouquet was shy, but nice. The taste was silky, but obviously past its prime. But a well crafted wine will show its pedigree. Its just a matter of time. After a while, the black fruit came back, and we discovered a silky, slightly spicy aftertaste. It should have been opened a few years ago, but silk is silk. And it keeps changing! It gets sexy towards the end. Nice adventure.

Excellent Rivera! Needs a lot of decanting! Deep ruby color with garnet rim. Lots of glycerol, full body and quite alcoholic. On the nose is quite an adventure. At first it was very fruity, lots of black currant, licorice and peppercorn. Then Super long finish! Just awesome!
