Some power here, and a little va dancing in the back - the oak is pretty upfront but the wine has the alcohol to handle it. Lovely oxidation.

Nutty fresh and complex perfection. Wine from 1960... thought it was from the 80s. I can't say enough. So good.

Tasted blind and thought it was a MUCH younger Bordeaux Blanc. Vibrant and fresh. Packed with blackcurrants and cassis. Firm, textured and dry.

Wish there were more classic (white) Rioja wines with classic labels. I fear change. When this died there was only one. Acidy for days after all these years. Kinda awesome.
