This has the legs to age well over the medium to even longer-term but should drink reasonably well young if desired

As with most of the single-vineyard wines from the vintage

Benjamin Romeo, Rioja Contador Vintage:2007 espresso bean(86% tempranillo and 14% garnacha), Inky violet color. Powerful, brooding aromas of black and blue fruits, violet, dark chocolate and anise. Dense, chewy and sweet, with strong dark berry and cherry compote flavors and an exotic floral quality that gains strength with air. Shows serious concentration and extract and finishes sappy and very long. This big boy demands patience. Josh Raynolds
