No notes, red wine of the birthday celebration of my cousin. Good stuff, a bit of oak, with a bit of vanilla in the rear. Went well with a duck parmentier. — 3 years ago

Good stuff. Dry. Medium body. Tannic. Expensive?! Sure. But there are market factors at play in pricing. Pairs well with a variety food. — a year ago

So, I haven’t had a Collection Series from Roederer. Thought I’d give the 243 a try. It is nice but very much like all the N/V’s I’ve had from them. If you put a N/V Roederer in my hand blind, I’d tell you this is Roderer. It’s a distinctive style. Just like you couldn’t fool me with any vintage of Silver Oak.

Soft; lemon, lime, both peaches, some blackberries, kiwi, bruised red apple to cider, overripe pineapple, tropical melons, baguette crust, cream, saline, grainy chalkiness, sea fossils, limestone marl, crispy acidity, jasmine, white flowers and a well balanced, nicely structured, not overly polish, 90 second finish.

Made from one-third of the grapes stemming from each of the "La Rivière", "La Montagne" and "La Côte" vineyards, Collection is composed of a base vintage, oak-aged reserve wines and wines from the "Perpetual Reserve", which follows the principles of the solera method and was created in 2012.

The number 243 represents the House’s 243rd blend since its creation. Collection 243 is made from the 2018 vintage to which 10% of oak-aged reserve wines (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) and 31% from the ‘’Perpetual Reserve’’ (2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017) were added.

26% of the blend undergoes malolactic fermentation. Collection 243 was aged for 3 to 4 years in the cellar. Its dosage is 8 g/litre

This cuvée is comprised of Chardonnay (42%), Pinot Noir (40%) and Pinot Meunier (18%). — 3 years ago

A new Rioja for me I grabbed in Spain from @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca @ €105 & whilst nice I think it’s overpriced as you get just as good quality in many £40-£50 Rioja but that said it’s nice 😉 & quite unusually earthy & mineral laden 😁 leave 5 years 👍

📍 Olivier Riviere Losares 2013 Rioja

🏵 92-93 points

🍇 Mazuela, Graciano & Tempranillo

🍷 Deep dark ruby

👃 Soggy earth, gravel, minerals & pencil lead through muted dark cherry w/ a light smokey soaked oak tone, red currant, balsamic & herbs then the oak really pushed through on steroids after a couple of hours

👄 Med body of red & dark cherry in balsamic w/ cocoa & minerals galore w/ a touch of blackberry

🎯 Med+ dry tannic red & dark cherry/berry cocoa mineral earthy linger w/ an okay follow through
