Musty books, jam, brick, iron, blood, dried herbs and bay leaves. Still feels alive despite its years. Really phenomenal how light and tart but deep this is. But most importantly... delicious!

Beautiful texture, great length and in a terrific spot, although another decade would be fine.

Very left bankish. Tannins still holding on strong, but linear and purposeful. I would blind this as Bordeaux. I forgot to say my Rioja safe word...leather.

Strawberry cream fruit with enough youthful acidity to last decades. Dare we say it was too young!!
