8 years into this nice Rioja, which is giving me aromas and flavors of leather, gravel, tobacco, and vanilla. Perhaps a bit of fig, too, but it seems that the secondary and tertiary elements are starting to come to the forefront. The tannins are smooth as silk yet still some grip, and the acidity has mellowed to medium. I imagine this wine is at it’s premium for drinking now. Super company with our “asado” on a chilly December evening!

Lekker, gekocht voor tjisses 42e verjaardag. Heeft ergens een droge afdronk. Verder mooi vol en stevig.

Pour 16$ c’est excellent. Doit respirer un peu, température un peu plus élevée pour dégager ses attributs. Bon goût distinctif, belle robe.

Exellent. Riserva 2012 (en 2022). Un bon fruit rouge vif et une belle acidité, mais pas trop intense, juste assez. Excellent avec veau, boeuf, BBQ. SAQ $22
