Initially, lean with hints of ripe fruit. Then decanted and this opened right up and remained consistent for 3+ hours. Faint aromas of oyster shell. Otherwise, muted nose. Medium+ flavors composed of ripe stone fruits with decent acidity, keeping this fresh. Very well balanced. Moderate complexity/short-moderate finish. Seems like it will hold for years to come, but upside is not obvious.

Rioja night at Perman Wine (Perman Wines, Chicago IL): Nose: The nose is fresh and expressive with nectarines, peaches, white flowers, green apples, saline, and crushed rocks. There is a lot of lift and balance to the nose but it lacks some depth.
Taste: The feel is Medium bodied with tart, medium+ acidity. The feel shows off more density than I expected along with excellent balance and tones of nectarines, peaches, white flowers, apples, and saline.
Overall: This has a lot of vibrancy and lift, but it lacks complexity and depth sadly. There is a lot of freshness to it and it feels like there isn't much of a reason to age it.

Rich golden colour. Ripe pears with medium acidity. The relative warm year seems to have made the grapes more fruitful and less tart. A very good example of a classic white Rioja. Excellent wine although not necessarily a bargain

Remelluri (Remelluri, Rioja): Very fragrant, peach and pear nose. Quite full. Some richness but also a touch of acidity towards the finish. Northern Rhône styled. Lots of stonefruit. Reasonably long. Not my style, but lots of wine here. ****

Aromatic bouquet with yellow tropical fruits and some good oak. Same on the palate. Good acidity and length. Beautiful wine.

Beautiful nose filled with yellow apple, pear, honey and vanilla. Well balanced. The best rioja blanco I have had the pleasure of tasting.
