Good color with some bricking. Tangy blue fruit. Dark cherry. Some subtle stinky stuff. A touch of tobacco. Pretty. Jef ROPP

Still youthful and sassy, both elegant and powerful. Time will balance this nectar and will drink well for another 20 years. Blend dominated by tempraniilo (85%) . Thus Ygay is on a roll!

Still lots of fruit. Well balanced. Plums. Obvious notes of age. In the nose could be Barolo or Bordeaux, but on the palate, clearly #rioja

Brilliant. Primary grape is temporaniilo in this baby. At 14 years, it is still unfolding and benefits from decant. Great juice
