The age has left the fruit leaner than a young Rioja (have to admit am used to younger more fruit forward wines), lovely dry long savoury finish with soft tannins and good complexity. Medium bodied. 38£

Perfect. Earthy, spice, tobacco etc. ordered a magnum with group along with the large ribeye -- a match made in heaven.
