Rioja Bordón Gran Reserva 2005
Rioja, SpainThe Bourdon Gran Reserva is aged in medium toasted American white oak barrels from Ohio for two years with rackings every six month. Leather, coffee, balsamic notes mark the nose with bits of spice and tobacco. The attack is dry with upfront freshness, milk chocolate covered cherry and more spice and soy. The texture is smooth and mature, making for easy sipping. Ready to drink. Try this with roasted meats or a favourite aged cheese.Tasted: 01 November 2016Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:BC | $29.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
