"Mythological. On to a total winner here. An explosion of sandalwood, leather, cloves. This is a brilliant wine, a wine of immense elegance, longevity and intentional seriousness. Exquisitely structured, poetic and bursting with emotion and devotion to its origins. A magnificent wine, a devastating wine. The very definition of beauty." 1 Bottle Imperial GR 1982: 92,3 Points cellar trackerd "An intense, lively, and remarkably complex aroma for a wine of this age: earth, truffle, fallen leaves, dark fruit preserves, and dried flowers. On the palate, it reveals its true nature as an authentic classic Rioja: surprising acidity for its age, extreme smoothness, and round, clean tannins. It is full-bodied and flavorful, with a long finish highlighted by notes of dried flowers and earth. An exceptionally elegant wine that, in my view, is drinking beautifully right now but could easily age for another 10 or 15 years. It is a pleasure to come across wines like this from time to time". Made with Tempranillo, Graciano and Mazuelo grapes. It shows a wide aromatic fan that goes from the fruits of the forest to the leaf of pure, going through spices like rosemary. The satisfaction in the nose is followed by a pleasant taste in the mouth with a round tannin and a long retronasal.
