Pago Malarina Vallobera 2002
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainA bit old style on the nose showing rootsy, earthy forest floor notes mixed with meaty, black fruit scents. The entry is fresh, there is plenty of acidity, and the textures are firm and well balanced throughout. Stylish if simple Rioja Alavesa made for food. Serve with roast pork.Tasted: 23 May 2005Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $19.99 | 750ml | Specialty |
