Scores

Ruby with an orange rim. Mildly animal nose. A little bit of sweet dust (cumin?) and definitely a fully mature wine. Marked acidity and great smoothness. Quite enough fruit in the middle and wonderful length... Pretty sophisticated. Score: 17.5/20 Jancis Robinson

Tasting Notes

With 31 years maturity this offers up a wonderfully complex perfume of red cherries, leather, tobacco and minerals. The palate is seductively silky with layers and layers of redcurrants, sweet red cherries, spice and minerals, all intermingled with earthy nuances, mushroom and smoke. The finish goes on and on with beautiful balance and gentle weight. Delicious!

ProducerLa Rioja Alta S.A.

Formed by five families in the late 19th century, the La Rioja Alta S.A. winery is one of the most iconic names in Fine Wine, and a benchmark for the traditional style of Rioja. Their Tempranillo-led reds are aged for remarkably long periods in barrels from the producer’s cooperage, and they are one of the last remaining producers to rack their wines by hand and by candlelight – which they do every six months. While they always upheld standards and tradition, La Rioja Alta S.A. never stopped experimenting and pushing for better quality, offering some of the purest, more precise expressions of Tempranillo in the world.
