Faustino I Rioja Gran Reserva 2001
Rioja Alavesa, Rioja, SpainThis was the Decanter Wine of the Year in 2013, but time waits for no one and as it closes in on two decades, this tempranillo is losing a bit of steam. More leather and less fruit mark the palate with menthol, balsamic and spicy plum notes that run out through a dry, earthy, tobacco finish. Fully mature and ready to drink now. Perfect for a birth year or anniversary celebration and may be best served with aged cheese.Tasted: 10 September 2019Tasted by: Anthony GismondiPrices:| BC | $67.99 | 750ml | BCLS |
