Powerful and stoic wine at this point. Needs 10 years to unwind.

Showed little age as being a 2012, consumed in 2024. But quite nice.

Expected more a funk powerhouse but it was very elegant.

Very good Rioja. Classic in style. Red fruits, dried cherry, herbal and a little earthy. With mushroom and tomato pasta. Let’s see how it holds up on day 2. Honestly too hot and humid for this kind of meal, but it’s what I have on hand!

Day 2: Still great, but became a little pruney. I prefer the freshness on day 1.

Fruit and soft vanilla on the nose; really tart and tannin-y but not too tannin-y. Not quite the body I’m looking for.
