Oct 26th, 2022 Pretty on the nose and amber at the edges. Orange peel, dark cherry, roses. All quite subtle. A little short and tart on the finish

Jun 24th, 2022 Beautiful. This old wine is a treat, with a musty and gamey nose of balsamic fruit, lilac, tamari and earth. Old school rioja.

Feb 18th, 2020 Mmm. ‘98 showing up in a big way. Finesse and power wrapped together in a beautiful package. Spiced red fruit clad in vanilla bean, lengthy acidity, and subtle earth. Everything in its place. Get at this.

This was incredible. It took a long time to open up, but when it did, ooh baby. Incredible floral notes and spicy palate. True complexity. #riojapower
