A remarkably well-composed and youthful 2005 Rioja here - in fact one wonders how it can remain so young after 10...

This wine is underrated by John and David. This wine is a good example of a Rioja produced in a great year. There is a fine balance of wood, spice and plumb. Yes, it is mid weight but although it does not have a long finish, but it does linger beautifully on the palate. The tannins are ripe and well balanced. What a great price !

fine balance between the red fruit and cedary oak. There are hints of pleasant herbeceousness (reminds me a bit of a left bank Bordeaux in that regard). Perhaps not a thing of grace, but fine complexity for $18. Drinking very nicely now, should hold a few more years. Tasted Feb 2014.

Wonderful lighter Rioja still going strong after 10 years. Excellent value.

Medium ruby, not really showng much age. Nose is dominated by cedary notes and spice, with just a hint of fruit (reflecting its age I suppose). Quite round and tasty, however, with med to full body and a good lingering tannic finish. Made for food. A touch austere. Will hold a few more years, but I doubt it will reveal much more.
