Ostatu Crianza Rioja Alavesa 2003

Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainThis is delicious stuff. Rich and packed full of fruit yet dry with Euro sophistication. Love the spicy, plummy, black fruit flecked with licorice, vanilla and tobacco. There are still some gripp-y tannins in the finish that will take two to three years to disperse. Solid dinner red for roasted meats.Tasted: 08 April 2007Tasted by: Anthony Gismondi and Stuart TobePrices:
