WSET 3

🎨 Mørk lilla

👃 Sterkt krydret nese med pepper, tobakk, lær og et hint av mørk frukt.

👄 Frisk vin med markante kryddertoner, tydelige tanniner og et røkaktig preg.

✨ Litt for intens for min smak – kunne ønsket mer fruktbalanse.

Anyone else who like Rioja here? In my opinion, it's one of the areas with the best QPR. Agreed or not?

Drink them young or can be stored for 30 or 50 years. Just awesome wines. This one is a splendid example of a semi mature Rioja. Just love it. Give the oak and vanilla som time to integrerte and enjoy!

The nose is fruity with both red and dark fruit. There are cherries and blackcurrants, but also raspberries and currants. There is also dry forest floor, vanilla and tobacco. It is complex and exciting. The palate is intense with rich fruit and high acidity. The aftertaste is long, fruity and acidic. The oak is noticeable through the vanilla, but still fully integrated. The wine is complex and well balanced, but still seems young. It paired beautifully with Secreto from Iberico pork. Several years ago both Jay Miller and Neil Martin considered this one as "old". I completely disagree! It is early in its drinking window, and will build further complexity and elegance over the next 10 years. Only Bordeaux can compete with classic Rioja when it comes to ageing potential. 94 points.

Burned toast, fart and barn. To reducive maybe Brettanomyces. Something ok way in the background.
