Exactly where I want this to be!! Still intact fruit peeking through all the tertiary layers and complexity

Touch of over the hill but still OK. Lost color. More for the geeks and aficionados - than the casual wine drinker. So this review is for you guys.

Cranberries, beef broth, tea leaves, chestnuts, freshness and acidic lift. Even improved 30 minutes after pulling the cork! Delightful. A joy to share this bottle with my - soon to be 50 yo - brother.

What J. said. Amazingly fresh! Still holding its own. Improved for quite some time after pulling the cork.

Older than me, the colour of coca cola, and fairly horrible for the first glass or so. Revealed lovely vintage Rioja charms as it opened up. Very memorable for not much money.
