A new Rioja for me I grabbed in Spain from @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca @ €105 & whilst nice I think it’s overpriced as you get just as good quality in many £40-£50 Rioja but that said it’s nice 😉 & quite unusually earthy & mineral laden 😁 leave 5 years 👍

📍 Olivier Riviere Losares 2013 Rioja

🏵 92-93 points

🍇 Mazuela, Graciano & Tempranillo

🍷 Deep dark ruby

👃 Soggy earth, gravel, minerals & pencil lead through muted dark cherry w/ a light smokey soaked oak tone, red currant, balsamic & herbs then the oak really pushed through on steroids after a couple of hours

👄 Med body of red & dark cherry in balsamic w/ cocoa & minerals galore w/ a touch of blackberry

🎯 Med+ dry tannic red & dark cherry/berry cocoa mineral earthy linger w/ an okay follow through

Спелая вишня, припущенная красная слива, красная смородина, ежевика, черника, ревень, мята, сухая земля, марганцовка, горькая корица. Среднее, подвижное тело с живой кислотностью и шелковой, сочной текстурой в рамке из ещё очень молодых, но отшлифованных танинов. Компактно и собранно, но не закрыто; с выраженной минеральностью; пока первично, но с хорошей глубиной и ощутимым потенциалом. Алкоголь даёт мягкое тепло, но не выжигает рецепторы; уравновешивающая его ментольная свежесть естественна и органична. Суровый, но верный баланс. Нужно ждать. — 7 years ago

Typical scent of vanilla, baking spice, dill, fruit, and red fruit. Lots of energy on the palate, a little smokey character, earthiness, and spice. Mineral finish. Rambunctious, but good. I like it! — 8 years ago

At last a wine that is not the remains of my Champagne weekend. It’s a smidge green and tannic. I wish I’d saved it for a few years. This is potent and interesting and I think I should have just given it at least three years. D’oh. Maybe a day or so of being open will help because the potential on this is huge given fruit, tannins and acid. — 7 years ago

Classic lunch bags and just a stellar treat in a crowded sea of Napa cab. My fave 5th growth by a long shot but Pontet Canet and Grand Puy Lacoste aren't far behind. The Lynch seems to shine for me regardless of vintage. — 8 years ago

One of the better older Bordeaux I’ve had in quite some time. Absolutely at peak with so many layers. It outshined an ‘03 Grand Puy Lacoste (which showed thin), ‘03 Montelena (sadly corked), and an ‘03 BV Georges de LaTour (rich/sweet).

Absolutely on fire from pop, this 20yr old left bank Bordeaux showed none of the overripe/too hot characteristics of the vintage. Deep purple/black in the glass with no bricking. Full-bodied. Mocha, truffle, roasted blackberries and raspberries, graphite on the nose. Ripe (but not overly so) dark berries, plum, cassis with vanilla pipe tobacco and even some iron. Still a good bit of tannin on the finish. This shows as a “modern” style due to the warmth, but balanced. Wish I had more. Pop the corks and enjoy! — 3 years ago

This is what French wine is all about - 2004 hand carried back from France; pouring into decanter, a reddish-brown golden caramel color sweet to the nose; after 20 mins it returned to a deep ruby red ; subtle, with hints of fruit - cherry, strawberry, cocoa dust and chalk - slight tannins - could go another 10 but delicious now. — 6 years ago

Nice dessert wine. Sauternes after a great dinner of grouper, saffron rice and summer salad, wonderful pairing. Carmel bouquet, with thick long lasting legs. Peach and rose petal notes. — 8 years ago

This is not only the best Bordeaux I've come across in this price range of around $10, but one of the best wines at that price point from anywhere. Wonderfully balanced in every way excellent fruit and wood. It's a fantastic quaffer and plays well with food which tonight was lasagna. — 9 years ago
