Thursday, May 11, 2017 - Rioja dinner at Phil's (Chicago, IL): Of the three 1987 LRAs, I liked this one second (as it should be), although I thought this had much more kinship with the Ardanza than the 890. Very red in complexion, with some cranberry elements here. The acidity is really bracing, but this is still a lovely, if a bit four-square bottle of Rioja. The oak isn't too prominent here, though it does show in a little bit of brown spice if you look for it.
