Community Tasting Note

• farinas Likes this wine: 92 points

  May 18, 2014 - Coravin sample. Medium to full body rich and muscular Rioja, glass coating long tears a real class act. Red fruits plenty of new oak, wood spices and resin. Entry has mouthful of tannins with bright mouthwatering acidity. Palate has solid fruit core, iron core, some American oak, and a tinge of orange peel. Needs at least 5 years for tannins to resolve, but it's got enough concentration to see it through. Bolder and more structured than usual for a Rioja. 92-94

  As you said, at least five years to soft and integrate all the elements.
  When I tried a 1994 RdG 15+ years old bottle, one of the best I've ever had.
  For an early drinking may I recommend 2005 RdG Viña Coqueta?
  Cheers!
