A wonderful bottle. Gorgeous deep plum fruit, black cherry, damson, bloodiness, violet. Some secondary notes of leather. Inky. Astonishingly fresh for a wine over 50 years. Dark and rich in color. Crystalline. An exceptional bottle.

I've been on an aged Rioja kick lately and it's because of bottles like this 22 year old reserva.

Bright and lively. Lots of acidity. Overall enjoyable but not memorable.
