Finca La Pica
Rioja Tempranillo
Lots of cherry, strawberry, and tannins are almost no longer present. Still very drinkable for being 34 years old.

The wine itself looks old. I like that.
The wine itself smells old, with raisins and balsamic notes. I love that.
The wine is the single best pairing I've ever had with a charred filet mignon. On its own it shows its age, the palate a little watery but still otherwise holds up for a 33 year old bottle. With the steak however it becomes this masterpiece that needed only the right lighting to become something amazing. I am in awe of how much more fuller bodied the wine becomes. Amazing. Worth the wait.

Stewed raspberries and red cherries and strawberry preserves. Leather and dill. Library musky age notes. Absolutely terrific! Rioja of typicity and stellar character. A light vanilla finish thats long and has acidic finesse. Love this a lot.
