  This is immediately accessible on opening (a bit of a surprise for a "young" LdH). Everything is well integrated, tannins are mellow at this point. Savory and silky.

  Medium garnet.
  Dried berries, figs, cedar nose.
  Toast, cedar, dried fruit palate.
  Very good, but not quite the level that I expected having read all the other reviews (including RP.)
  I didn’t decant and maybe should have. Will do so with the next bottle.

  Still quite youthful and vibrant, with red cherries, leather and spice and a slightly firm finish.

  Easter wine with roasted lamb rump. Mellow and subtle but fascinatingly layered with bright red fruit and old books. Very long. Decanted.
  
  No harm in leaving the rest of my case whilst I work through some of the other Riojas can come back to this one later.
