Reserva La Antigua Clasico Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

9.5

Paired with a beautiful roast Spanish prawn, with chorizo and peppers, At first on the shelf there was only 2015s, but then I noticed the display bottle was 2012, so YOINK! Deep rose color with slight orange hues to the edges but no bricking even at 13 years old. Big spicy nose with hints of sharpie marker, black olives, plum and, as @Tiva Feltman described it, “old movie theater”. The spice could even be interpreted as hints of pineapple even! Medium to full bodied, with a big palate where the spice and energy continues, zinging the palate, with a flavor that lingers for LONG after the first sip. So much freaking energy, with flavors that remind me of artificial rasberry, black olives, tar, cigar smoke and some serious vegetal notes, almost like spicy kimchi and rich granite or pencil led. It just keeps going and it’s def a great value that could age forever. — 9 months ago

Light mouth feel of a Pinot, but with complex notes of ashy volcanic soil, tree bark and (hint of) berries. Tart acidity on mid palate — 9 years ago

Very pretty Malbec from Patagonia. Softer and more velvety on the pallet than those from Mendoza. — 9 years ago

Tons of funk and brooding fruit. That paired well with mozzarella sticks and left over ribeye sandwich. You’ll either love it or hate it. — 7 years ago

Feeling lucky to have tasted such a rare and special wine that usually never makes it to the states. It’s been quite a while since this moment. Hopefully we’ve begun to import it. — 8 years ago
