Still dark and opaque. Rich fruit nose. Notes of black cherry, mocha, mahogany and a hint of espresso. Rich and silky in the mouth. Long finish. A nice contrast to the Montelena Cab. My last bottle unfortunately.

Threw a ringer in and a few liked this as much as any other bottle. Dark reddish tawny. Nice nose with notes of blackberry, wood, plums and brush. Balanced and memorable finish.

A little bit too much lactic acid but just great Rioja. 5l, € 625

Tawny dark ruby. Barely translucent. Fragrant nose with notes of black fruit, blueberries, wood and smoke, unsweetened chocolate and forest floor. Very balanced in the mouth with velvet warm fruit matched with nice structure and resolved tannins. Great finish. A wonderful rioja.

Darkest ruby in the glass with some bricking, nice bouquet of black fruits, smoky wood and a slate type stone in the nose. After 3+ hrs of air the finish grew to be long and palate staining. This wine never fails to impress b

Very youthful. Very impactful. Complex and deep nose. Not showing much age in the color. A lot going on in the finish. Should have saved more of these.

This '98 was a pleasant surprise hidden behind a bunch of cheap stuff. Excellent find for $35!

Lots of earth, some animal, and dark fruit. Nice.
