#AgedWineTuesday

Dark ruby in color with wide brick rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing red currants, cherries, earth, black coffee, licorice, oak, black tea, tobacco leaf, herbs and light black pepper.

Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.

This 63 year old Tempranillo from Rioja is still drinking nicely, although obviously not at its peak.

Soft and elegant with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced and elegant. Tangy and interesting.

Still has enough fruits in it to last another 10 years. Not showing as much complexity as I expected, but it's always nice to try these kind of old wines.

I enjoyed it very much, all by itself.

A blend of Tempranillo and Garnacha. Aged in French oak barrels for 3 years. Recorcked by the winery a few years ago. Only 400 bottles made.

12.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.

$120. — 2 years ago

Nicely made and exuding character. Nose has bright, deep plummy fruit, along with nice, fragrant spice and a wisp of smoke. Mouthfilling, pure fruit on the palate, with a light touch, finish turns savory and shows lots of stony minerality. Nice acids and a bit of soft, chalky tannin comes out at the end. Terrific value. — 4 years ago

Cool label. Classy. James Suckling gives 93 puntos, must be good. Nice color. Deep ruby color. Smells meaty, juicy and dense. Flavors are similar. Plenty of extracted berry stuff. Deep and complex. Plenty of flavor here 10 years later. Has lots of mouthwatering acids. Enjoyable red. Excellent. — 2 years ago

This says Reserva.
I didn’t know.
But… that’s some Spanish old vine Tempranillo w French barrique aging(24 mo.) hell, you could have left it in there another 24.
N: Really smells like dirt and tobacco. Black plums way back there. A Big, black nose of reined in funk.
P: Tannin city, charcoal, prunes, really begs for protein, skillfully done.
Next time, 2hrs in a decanter.
Thanks @ Garagiste. — 3 years ago

Even with 9 years of bottle age there’s still a lot of youth in this #rioja #riserva 100% #graciano. Purple/red fruit on the nose, a touch reticent. Active on the palate with lively acidity and tannins continue to build with each sip. So youthful I’m eager to try the 2001 vintage of from this producer that I bought recently. — 3 years ago

Color of dark purple, looks thick. Nose of dense dark fruits, like currant and blackberries, some chocolate, some vanilla, a touch of oak, and some more woody cedar. Nose is not bad. Taste of ripeness, with dark fruits plus matured tannins, oaky note, some ripe grapes, a bit tobacco leaves and minerals. Some tiny refined sweetness too. Aftertaste shows some vanilla, spice, clean and enjoyable. Nice one. — 3 years ago

Earthy bouquet with hints of black fruits and stone. Tastes a lot like a Lodi Zinfandel. — 4 years ago

Really lovely fruit — peach, tangerine skin and cherries, and melon — with dried herbs on the finish. Really great with tikka masala.
