Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 14, 2009 - This is a beautiful bottle of wine. Talk about an understated expression of Rioja. Fairly light red color (yes, this could be a Burgundy). I get roses on both the nose and palate. This reminded me of the 1999 Mascarello Monprivato in a certain way. Roses, and red garden fruit (strawberry) and tiny whiff of white pepper. So light on its feet this wine, silky, seamless texture. I wonder why I don't own more of this gorgeous wine. Hats off to Lopez de Heredia for not caving in to the disturbing trends going on in Rioja or in Spain for that matter. Beau vin!
