1995 La Rioja Alta Rioja Gran Reserva 890
Community Tasting Note
Rani Likes this wine:
94 Points
Wednesday, August 8, 2012 - Tasted blind alongside a 1995 Bosconia Gran Reserva. Notes of mud, hung meat and licorice. Masculine compared with the Bosconia. Still young, needs another 10+ years.

What a nice selection!
I've similar feelings with those 890 and Bosconia GR, whom do you prefer, Mom or Dad...
Cheers!

Nowadays I admire the precission on whites and that lovely decadent splendour of the old reds.
LdH brings me down, among many others, with last 2001 Reserva
Cheers!
