Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, August 17, 2011 - While the wife's away, the boys will play. Nice wines at Keith's. (Keith's): A little bit of an enigma as there was no indication of Crianza, Reserva or Gran Reserva on the front or back label. That being the case I'm going to guess Crianza as I have other bottles that say Reserva and Gran Reserva on them. In any case, classic old school Rioja. The nose is somewhat muted, but shows the usual aromatics of old cherry fruit, worn wood and old leather couch with a bit of orange peel. It's fully evolved and integrated on the palate with the acidity barely holding on for dear life. The mouthfeel has the softness of a comfy pillow. That said, the wine could use a little bit more life. Like flavors as aromas, though with air a strong mushroom note developed. Drink up. B+.
