Rioja Vega Gran Reserva 2009
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainThe Gran Reserva 2009 hails from an excellent vintage. The style is pleasantly modern, as in clean and fresh, with intense, spicy, licorice-coated black fruit. Yet as big as it is, there is a sense of finesse and styling after 29 months in oak and 36 months in bottle. It’s a bit warm but it’s a Gran Reserva and it carries itself as such. I love the price. Rioja Vega has been producing quality wines for more than 125 years and is the only winery in the Rioja region that has the right to use word Rioja in its name. Lamb osso buco would be a fine match.Tasted: 12 January 2018Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $44.94 | 750ml | private wine shops |
