    Totally agree. Nice TN specially when you say this bottle doesn't need a decantation...
    Cheers!

    5/14/2014 8:50:00 AM - Hola Senor, thanks for your comment on my TN, having noticed most of your comments on TN from users about wines of La RA and other classic spanish wines, I do also like LRA and some other classic style spanish wines very much, from LRA especially the Ardanza, 890 and 904. Still got some bottles of the vintages 94 and 95. And I think that in some years the Ardanza 01 will be marvelous, I have tried to purchase some older bottles of LRA by auction, but here there are only a few available and until now I failed. Its hard to gain older spanish vintages here in Germany.........

    First of all...totally agree, wine is culture, that's the point.
    Any trouble finding well-age Rioja? Come to south! For the price you're paying in Hamburg I am pretty sure you can include a fligth ticket and still you save some money :-)
    Last weekend I drank a 94 904 GR bottle. Fantastic! Twenty years is nothing for Rioja Alta.
    Cheers!

    me gustaria viajar a Espagna. Amo tomar tapas o a el pais vasco pintxos.......... tengo que mejorar mi castellano, pero no uso esa lengua muchas veces en Alemania, por eso.......
    Donde puedo compra botellas viejas? a las bodegas en la Rioja o hay algunas tiendas buenas en la capital o a otras ciudades?
    saludos
