Outstanding. Drink now (2015)... It's a beauty!
Hard to find a bad 2001 Rioja and this doesn't disappoint, especially at this price point. Great Value.
As noted by others, improbably youthful looking. Very oak driven nose, with hints of violets and lavender. Med-full bodied and quite powerful, almost hot. Ripe fruit and spice, but strikes me as a bit out of balance.
