La Rioja Alavesa, La Rioja, Spain
Vintage 2016 | Absolutely beautiful, st Julien frivolity, very intens and perfumed | paired with Boeuf Bourguignon | I did not recognize / determine this as Rioja, was obsessed with left bank Bordeaux in my head. Wine of the Night. For me unknown, but o man so good.

Consistently great wine. Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, dark berry, dark cherry, currants, cinnamon and spice, dark chocolate and smoked oak. On the palate, rich and full bodied, jammy fruits, dark berries and cherry, dark chocolate, hints of cinnamon, balsamic and espresso, smokiness/smoked oak. Long finish with hints of smoked citrus rind. Nice, chewy tannins.

Nov 6th, 202117/20 (92/100) Вино выйдет на рынок в марте 2020 года. В аромате на первом плане черника (скорее джем, чем спелые ягоды), чернослив, есть уверенная нота тимьяна и орегано, шоколада и лакрицы. Тельное с высокой кислотностью и умеренной танинностью. Немного спиртуозно. Чёрные ягоды и шоколад во вкусе. Тучное, богатое, мягкое вино. #dfwe2019
