  From 75cl, perfect cork, no staining back from wine end(!) decanted 1 hour, improved until final drop. Eucalyptus and spearmint on the nose; bone-dry entry with austere, slightly cooked dark red fruit; highly concentrated dry extracted/raisiny mid-palate with grumpy tannins and a dour, astringent edge; tough finish. I enjoyed this less than I did the 2003 and 2004 vintages (in recent memory), largely because those had some residual sweetness to temper the brusque dry tannic mid-palate. Food pairing is all, the fattier and richer the better. No hurry—it is just conceivable this might bloom in a decade's time. 90P(+?)

  Mature Tempranillo tasting (Rioja, Ribera-del-Duero, Toro); 11/16/2023-11/17/2023: Appearance: Deep, dark ruby color with a slight garnet hue at the rim, indicating maturity.
  Nose: Intense and complex aromas of black fruits such as blackberry and black cherry.
  Notes of licorice, cedar, and tobacco, with a touch of vanilla from oak aging.
  Layers of earthiness, leather, and hints of spice.
  Palate: Full-bodied with well-integrated, velvety tannins that suggest aging potential.
  Rich and concentrated, showcasing flavors of ripe black fruits, including plum and blackcurrant.
  A backbone of acidity provides freshness, balancing the wine's power.
  Complex layers of dark chocolate, coffee, and a touch of sweet spice.
  Finish: A long and lingering finish with persistent dark fruit and subtle herbal notes.
  Tannins may continue to evolve and mellow with additional aging.
