Had it a number of years ago and I really liked it, but I don't think that's very helpful...

I hope Gamliel does not shoot me - here is his notes from June 2010 - note the fact that he says it is in major drink mode, a year+ ago...
The most interesting wine in the tasting was Ramon Cardova’s 2001 Rioja Reserva Especial. Aged in new American oak barrels for 18 months, this garnet-colored, medium-bodied wine has a bouquet of cedar, leather, cherries and spice. Look for flavors of cedar, stewed cherries and stewed prunes, with an interesting, and not unpleasant, note of maderization. Unfortunately this wine has reached the end of its life, and should be consumed within the next few months. Score B.
