Was surprised that this Rioja had so much life in it after all these years!! Pretty smooth, hints of dried fruits. I've completely changed my mind on riojas and live them

This might be the oldest bottle I've ever tasted. Still has great acidity and structure, dried leaves and tobacco. Faded dried red fruit and fig
