This is so good. Taffy, butterscotch, diesel, green walnut, toasted walnut, and dried flowers on the nose. Palate is so rich and tart and full; Finish is just achingly, beautifully long.

Rioja Blanco, ya pasado de edad 2004, no bueno para mi paladar, pero si te gusta los vinos funkies te lo recomiendo. Con 13 años en la botella el resultado en esta botella es de sabor a plástico y papel celofán. Talvez uno más joven sepa mejor!

2004 vintage. Another beauty from this extremely traditional producer. Golden colour, intense bouquet with dried fruits, flowers (camomile), lemon peel, spices and a hint of bee wax. Beautifully balanced taste, profound and intense, with long finish. Amazing anachronistic wine with a value for money that is out of this world.

Yeast and oxidation. Tertiary flavors. Very special and fresh. Long finish with nice acidity.

Vintage 2004 / Fourteen years old and showing real special. Refined smell with some brioche. Brushwood, spicyness, complexity and still really charming.

Stunning at its quinceañera. Gorgeous bright gold—lemon, herbs, beeswax, a kind of honeyed viscosity on the palate.

Yellow gold. Slightly oxidized, yeast, tertiary flavors, overall a funky nose. Palate of ripe fruits, orange peel, hint of banana, coffee, and vanilla.
