Se abre dos horas antes sin decantar lo que elimina olores sucios de botella y acidez volátil. Color picota oscuro atejado. Aroma intenso, fruta matizada negra con ligera madera, cuero y notas animales, va evolucionando a tabaco de pipa y especies orientales y té. , la fase olfativa es magnifica, equilibrada, y muy viva. La boca es suave, tamizada, sedosa y amable, con taninos fundidos y dulces, cuerpo y estructura medias, acidez perfecta atendida su edad, lo único que podrá decirse es que es menos expresiva que la nariz, a pesar de lo cual hay notas de fruta negra pasificada o seca; en retronasal aparece fruta negra y roja en compota acompañada de terciarios. No tiene capacidad de mejora y si tiene alguna botella no tarde en abrirla.Sorprende la media tan baja de este vino, y no la comparto en absoluto. Para mí es un vino que ha envejecido magníficamente, muy maduro y con tenencias austeras, y clásicas y que mantiene las características de los grandes reservas de rioja. 8/15/2022

It is opened two hours before without decanting, which eliminates dirty bottle odors and volatile acidity. Dark cherry color. Intense aroma, nuanced black fruit with light wood, leather and animal notes, evolving into pipe tobacco and oriental spices and tea. , the olfactory phase is magnificent, balanced, and very lively. The palate is soft, sifted, silky and friendly, with melted and sweet tannins, medium body and structure, perfect acidity given its age, the only thing that can be said is that it is less expressive than the nose, despite which there are notes of raisined or dried black fruit; In retronasal, black and red fruit appears in compote accompanied by tertiaries. It has no room for improvement and if you have a bottle, don't delay in opening it.The low average for this wine is surprising, and I don't agree with it at all. For me it is a wine that has aged magnificently, very mature and with austere, classic tenancies and that maintains the characteristics of the great reserves of Rioja. 8/15/2022
