I had the opportunity to taste verticals of 2 of La Rioja Altas wines

(this limited two barrel cuvée is crafted from 70+ year old vines that abut the Musigny climat which is also called La Combe d'Orveau and is a monopole of Domaine Jacques Prieur)

This should benefit from a few years of cellaring in order to develop a bit more overall depth.
