05 exciting Rioja

2005 Bai Gorri De Garage;

Ruby with garnet rim, intense nose, blueberries, licorice, tight, vanilla and coffee. Leaner body than nose suggest, fresh acidity, ripe tannins, slightly rough on the edges at this stage, but seems to evolve nicely. Quite a surprise after what I remember as quite more fruity two years back. Would be very interesting to follow, but that was my one bottle. 90
