Medium garnet core , quite narrow terracotta rim . Spiced earthy summer fruits, blackberry , cherry , blackcurrant , some herbal hints , vanilla , tobacco, grafite and iodine. On the palate this is quite fine boned , with refreshing acidity and medium ripe , rounded tannins , balanced alcohol . More herbal and dark fruited on the palate , blackcurrant , blackberry and cherry , spiced vanilla tinged dark cherry . Tobacco and grafite tinged medium length finish . Still drinking well , this is at peak now so drink over the next 2-3 years . — 22 days ago
Deep black fruits aromas, a rich body but some definite tannins, the black fruit flavors come through with notes of licorice and violet. A good wine as the temperatures start to fall. — 3 months ago
12 yr old rioja blanco. Beautiful golden color. Banana nose. Almost chemical. Blew off after about 30 mins and the acidity took flight. A special wine, but I think we were too aggressive out of gates to taste its peak. — a month ago
1982 just slipping past the prime, still soft raspberry fruit, lots of cinnamon spice, fresh acidity holding it all together. Lots of moxie, a classic — 10 years ago
