La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 1987

This one's from last Summer, but had to rate this amazing 1987 La Rioja Alta Vina Ardanza. Beautiful light brick color. Cherries, spices and tobacco on the nose. Smooth as silk. Was in perfect shape and confirmed the quality and value of aged Rioja. Fantastic. — 11 years ago

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1968

1968 Vina Real Gran Riserva Temperanillo. One of 3 wines we opened up for the lunch which Ash prepared at the house. Hard to believe that this wine is almost 50 years old. It drank beautifully- still a little bit of sour red fruit in the nose, but more predominantly forest floor, graphite, and meat. Not super rich in mouthfeel, possibly due to age? Great and fun to drink on a hot day. — 10 years ago

1968 R. Lopez de Heredia Vina Condonia Rioja. Drank for family dinner in Napa. We decanted just before white wine was served. At first drank like a beautiful burgundy- raisiny, sweet, with a smooth finish. Unfortunately, the wine petered out a little quickly. Thankfully, we had the 2001 Casanova di Neri Brunello. — 10 years ago
