It's not every night that you get a reggae lesson from your Spanish Wine buyer- so I thought I should open something special to go with the great chicken thighs that Cinnamon made. This bottle was spectacular- so much leathery intrigue, truffle like complexity and still completely focussed on the finish. An vid lovers vintage with resolved tannin and time in hand. This wine will outlive me!

Showing vibrancy that belies the vintage. Decanted, the wine opened with a silky mouthfeel, soft dark fruits, and age appropriate raisination. If I had tasted this blind I would have emphatically denied it being a Rioja.
