perfect cork. Classic old school. A bit austere on day one even after two hours of aeration (a 90-91 score). Much bolder on day two (a 91-92 score). Lovely anyway. Can be kept in a good cellar for another 1-2 decades.

Mid garnet. Beautifully fragrant nose. Forest floor, red fruit and a touch of orange peel starting to come through. Fresh acidity, maturing red fruit on the attack. Mid-palate showing some mushroom and orange peel. Good lift on the finish. Proper Rioja. An ever-so slightly woody element on the finish but probably adding a touch of complexity rather than detracting. Bare ****

Decanted, then poured back in the bottle. Ready to be drunk straight after opening.
