Rating for Spain-Dominiaciones de Origen (DO)-Rioja: 82 (slightly worse than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: quite possibly over the hill<br/>

nose lept out of the glass on opening. prunes, plums and old wood. Complex on the palate with fully integrated tannins but still with intense black fruit on the mid palate. Deliciosa! especially with the Riojan speciality of lamb cooked in wood-burning oven.
