01 Riscal Reserva

2001 Marques de Riscal Reserva;
Deep ruby with garnet rim, blueberries, liquorice, some vanilla and oak, floral highnotes, violets. Medium minus acidity, even so quite mouthwatering, low and ripe tannins, good balance, not too long, the nose promised more.....but then, after 20 minutes or so, all oak dissapears, prunes turn into plums, fresher and much better length. 88
