#AgedWineTuesday. When in Rioja, drink Rioja. Reddish in color with a wide reddish rim. Nose of red fruits with earth and mildew notes. Medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Elegant and restrained. On the palate red fruits with earth, light wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, tobacco leaf, herbs, light wet leaves and peppercorn. Medium plus on the finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries. This recent release of this Rioja Reserva is drinking very nicely now. A good quality wine. Easy drinking, and a good food wine that I paired with dried meats and crackers. This 11 year old feels so very young still, and will continue to age nicely in the next 25 years. Needs time to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too. A blend of 70% Tempranillo with Garnacha, Graciano and Mazuelo. Aged for 6 years in used American oak barrels. 13% alcohol by volume. 92 points. $60.

I am biased for Rioja but this is a very good demonstration of why. Great balance ripe reserved fruit in harmony with some slight puckering length. Better in 10 years. Totally fine now.

Rich black fruits, oak and leather aromas; softened but present acid and tannins, the fruit is more tart on the palate, lighter in body while being rich flavored.

Made the value pick at the steakhouse and it did not disappoint. Worked wonderfully with the zesty crab cakes and the medium Filet. Punchy fruit along solid tannins. Little bit of smoky kick and medium finish. Loved it.
