Beautiful garnet color with still some freshness. Mind blowing nose. If we didn’t catch this wine at it’s apogee I can’t imagine how much better I can get but fuck it was good

Fuck. This is what mature Rioja should taste like!! Aromas and flavors weave effortlessly together: cigar tobacco, dried herbs, dehydrated cherries and red currants, mulch. Sassy almost

1981 is reaching its breaking point. If you want to enjoy it, do it within reason otherwise it will read very tired. Solid all around but fading at the spots where it needed to shine at the mid-palate and the finish.
