Tasting notes

Brown-red colour. More brown and lighter than the 70. Fine nose. Here is the intensity that the ’70 lacks. More mushroomy, wet forest floor-notes. Hints of old wood, red berries. Complex and a really fine Rioja. Medium bodied and evolved in the mouth. Some sweetness in the fruit. Mushrooms, wet forest floor, some old wood, herbaciousness and red berries. Fine intensity. Complex fruit. This has evolved very nicely. Medium acids and still some tannins left in the finish. Good length. Great Rioja that drinks on top now.
