Beautiful. This old wine is a treat, with a musty and gamey nose of balsamic fruit, lilac, tamari and earth. Old school rioja.

Mmm. ‘98 showing up in a big way. Finesse and power wrapped together in a beautiful package. Spiced red fruit clad in vanilla bean, lengthy acidity, and subtle earth. Everything in its place. Get at this.

This definitely took some time to open up a bit. Surprising bright garnet color, leather and earthiness dominated the black cherry and dried,dark fruits. Notes of iron, pencil shavings, and a medium finish with noticeable tannins. Still enough acid to pair well with prime grilled ribeye.

Dried fruit (cherry), earthy, moderate finish, well balanced, mid-to-light weight mouthfeel. Good but not great.
