Vanilla bean crème, unripe cherry, dill, earth/barnyard notes, herbal notes. Old school rioja, and dare I say this can go many years or needed more air. I probably underestimated the amount of air (2hrs) this could take.
Rioja aficionados will appreciate it for what it is…others, maybe not so much.

Charity Wine Pairings for Hospice House Auction winners; 4/6/2024-4/7/2024 (Bellingham): Our nightcap or digestif. One of our guests wanted to try a rioja. Tobacco, sour cherry and dark berries, smokey leather, moist earth. While I think it's a great wine, it probably suffered by following a glass of port. Still, I think its best days are ahead. I'll never turn down a LdH Tondonia or Bosconia, Reserva or GR.

Really cool, loved it. Fruit was still very vibrant, but Al’s had some dried fruit notes. Needed some air to really open up.

Drak den med far og Mussi. Dejligt og spændende glas. Selvfølgelig oxideret, men stadig frugt og fin syre på. Fin blød i munden. Køb mere.
