Hard to give a read on this, given its wine companions for the night. Seems like it’s at its peak and the tannins were medium through the two hours we drank from it. Wasn’t decanted, would love to be tasting it again today to see what was left. — 7 years ago

The day the world realises what amazing value lies in Rioja will be a sad day for my wallet. What promises to be a classic vintage from one of THE classic Alta producers for $30? You don't get that anywhere else. Deliciously aromatic. Dried flowers and dried orange peel in a spice cupboard which is exactly where they belong. Surprisingly approachable for a young Reserva with such stuffing - fine tannins and great acidity in perfect balance with bitter cherry compote and dark chocolate on the finish. So good with the lasagne we paired it with. I ate so much bloody lasagne. I just didn't want it to end. This wine is ready to go right now but I will be buying a case and attempting to hold it until the ruby turns brick-orange and all the secondary complexities of this classic bottling come to fruition. Christ, I'm full! — 11 years ago

This is my first experience with this wine. The ruby rim and long legs announce a great wine. And the promise is delivered. I’m greeted with a beautiful bouquet and as soon as I taste it, I decide I have a new favorite wine. Red fruit, sandalwood and a dash of peppermint just to remind you that it can be spring all year. — 7 years ago

Goodness I love LRA wines. The nose on these are intoxicating. American oak has calmed down but still full of coconut and dill. Could smell it all day. Incredibly pure on the palate. Blackberries, Mexican vanilla, green pepper. No tannic bite. — 9 years ago

Balanced intensity. Nice spice edge. Tobacco drenched in dark tart cherry and huckleberries ....I think. 😄. I just threw that one in because it was on my mind. We were eating huckleberries on our trails hiking Idaho this weekend. 👍 — 7 years ago
