Many thanks, JJ.

That one (was? :) ) is 2009. Any meaningful difference between the 2?

'10 was a better year overall. They are two different wines and you also have to factor in the age difference.

Had the Peraj Haabib on Thursday with some friends and today I had the Peraj Petita, over $30 cheaper than it's older brother but way too good for that price!
Never judge a wine by it's price tag!

'10.
all the capecanes I have tasted till now, have very strong tannins. AAMOF I have to let it breath some 24! hrs before I wanna drink it. 2010 might be a bit to strong to enjoy now. I would store it for another 2 yrs
nevertheless I will give the petite a shot. thanks

p.s. talking about how price doesn't mean much on wines, you might wanna try 'roja' wines they are very cheap [$20 IIRC] but the easily taste like a $80 wine. I wouldn't say its a elegant full body but enjoyable to the last drop

I've had the exact opposite experience with Capcanes as well as Rioja.
May be storage issues on the Rioja.
Capcanes has always been the perfect balance IME.

rioja doesn't have this problem at all its a medium body, barely any tannins. capcanes [perja habib] definitely has overpowering tannins unless you recently tasted the '03 '05 which may have become more smooth in the last year or so
