2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	9/13/2018	rustyRudy	87
At PNP it had an off/odd component that improved but didn’t completely resolve over several hours. (1864 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	5/5/2018	JimmyBubbles	92
Cuatro años despues me topo con otra botella de esto. Y joder! sigue ahí, incluso no sé si ha mejorado. Lo decanté y lo acompañé con una fabada. Odiadme. La madera se va relajando e integrando en el conjunto. Complejidad y frescura. Piel de naranja, violetas, carbón, cerezas en licor, sangre. Todo tamizado por la Rioja más clásica. A beber!

2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	3/20/2010	James Kim	91
Lost tasting note. From memory. Nice light elegant and silky texture. Still with a bit of tannins. Nice red fruits and good acidity with a really nice balance. Poised and elegant. Just a nice wine esp given the hot vintage. (691 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $

2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	9/19/2015	macaujames	88
I was shocked that this wine seemed so cool and elegant, still in the usual red fruits spectrum and seemed unaffected by the heatwave 2003 vintage! The only downside was the slightly unknit medium long finish. (3594 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	7/4/2015	imcarthur	91
Ditto my last note on this wine - Big fruit nose with the body to match. Ripe berries that drift towards souring fruit. Long finish - but I upped my rating. A very nice wine. (2897 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	1/26/2014	JimmyBubbles	90
Vamos a ver que hay aquí, esa "famosa" 2003. Enseguida se abre para dar de si todo lo que tiene. Clasicismo riojano en sus terciarios, elegantes, toque animal, especiado, fruta roja en licor, esas endrinas, esos tostados integrados, suman, no restan, complejidad y parece que está preparado. En la boca el tanino está perfectamente pulido, paso agil, con frescura, para tomar ya (gracias 2003). Ese final chispeante, la acidez citrica de Rioja. Un gran ejemplo de RCP y de porque Rioja es Rioja. Finura, tipicidad y clasicismo. Ole!!. (4970 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $

http://atasteforwine.blogspot.dk/2013/06/2003-la-rioja-alta-rioja-vina-alberdi.html GRAPE VARIETIES: TEMPRANILLO ALCOHOL BY VOLUME: 13% Appearance: Clear, medium garnet. Clean nose of pronounced intensity, developed. Aroma characteristics: ripe red fruit (redcurrant, cherry) with additional notes of earthiness, smoky wood, camphor, caramel and pipe tobacco. Dry on the palate with medium(+) level of acidity and medium(+) level of ripe tannin. Medium level of alcohol, medium(+) bodied. Pronounced intensity. Aroma characteristics repeated on the palate, with a rose-like, floral quality interwoven with the redcurrant fruit note. Soft, slightly grainy mouthfeel. Long finish. Good, old-fashioned, american oak-matured Rioja. Which, from time to time, I enjoy a lot. Woody notes are definitely noticeable, but they are really damn tasty - and wonderfully contrasted by the lightness, transparency and elegance of the tempranillo fruit-notes. Ready to drink, but will keep. (2330 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $

It took about 1.5 hours for wine to open, still not a lot on the mid palate. Dark fruits but not identifiable.Had with grilled ribeye - not a good match (2193 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
2003 La Rioja Alta Rioja Viña Alberdi Reserva (Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja)	12/15/2012	wineslide
OK, I like this wine, but it needs 2 things - it must be decanted and it needs food. By itself the wine is disappointing, it is too herbal and woodsy without much fruit. However, after a 1 hour decant, a night in the bottle without the cork and with food it works. It is very herbaceous, but the fruit does emerge. I would not go out and buy another bottle because it does not line up with my palate but it turned out quite nice in the end. (2942 views) $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $
