What a winner! Fresh and lonely and such a clean mineral finish! Paired it with a beer, carrot and pomegranate salad, and also with shrimp and grits. Worked great with both. — 23 days ago

This bottle had been cellared since release and cork was in near pristine condition. At 54 years old, it remains a deep garnet/purple and now with loads of sediment. Classic Rioja character with dried black cherry, toasted coconut, cedar, dried flowers, leather and earth. The structure remains intact and the acid is still pretty fierce. This should continue to age very well if conditions are good. — 3 days ago
