  APPEARANCE: Medium yellow colour with a greenish hue. No sediments.
  NOSE: Waxy, rich ripe stone fruitiness (apricot, peach, fruit stones), light honey. (90-91p)
  TASTE: A certain fruitiness in the arrival. On the mid palate some waxiness, ripe apricot, yellow plum. Very clean and almost sweet fruitiness. Rounded but nice underlying acidity/freshness. (90p)
  AFTERTASTE: More fruit but now also a slight fruit stone bitterness to round it off. Fairly long. (88-89p)
  OVERALL: A lovely 10 year old Viura from Rioja which is not made in the traditional more oxidised style and now appears almost Burgundian. Even three days after opening it kept up very well with no deteriotation, only further positive development in the open bottle (kept cold).
  This is mature now but gives the impression that it will keep and possibly develop for another 2-4 years. Great value for money.
  TOTAL SCORE: 90 points.

  Solide blanc assez viril mais limite trop boisé pour moi, ce qui m'empêche de le noter davantage. Dommage car c'est très bon et équilibré.

  Hazelnuts, popcorn, butter on the nose. The palate is buttery popcorn, with mineral acidity on the finish. Viura is essentially an Iberian chardonnay in this versatile offering.

  Viura in Rioja, Macabeo elsewhere in Spain, we truly enjoy this bracing, slightly acidic, tiny touch of oak luvly from the legendary family Palacios. Light, refreshing, excellent warm white wine from Rioja (yes, not all red in the region) at Catalunya, Hong Kong.
