Found a ‘14 hanging around. Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas, herb and spicy pepper notes. On the palate blackberry and plum flavors with notes of black pepper, cacao and earthy spice. Savory ripe tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and earthy herb notes. Just ok, drink now past it’s prime!

9.1-9.2
As much as I try to avoid oak juice, this is totally worth drinking now, or better yet, holding onto for 3-5 years.

Nail varnish violet nose, full red berry and light rose middle, almost no tannins until a good 30secs in but this is my second rioja of the evening... simple but deep.

What a find! The most elegant cigar box notes ever, subtle spicy fruit woven into a beautiful core. Star Anise, beautiful earthy, spiced cedar. Attack is soft and develops across the palette with an integrated acidity that is amazing. This wine defines structure. Very light elegant tannins.

Decant or give it at least 15 minutes in the glass. Spicy plum and nail varnish nose. Plum, dark cherry, vanilla, and cigar box in a medium body, resolving to medium tannins in a long, earthy finish. Delightful Costco find.
