Forgive me father, for I have sinned.
I called this Chianti Classico in a blind.

Intense aromatics. Gasoline, rhubarb pie, and more baked red fruit. Savory! Nutty, oxidative but still some tartness. Structure deteriorating but still amazing and unique. 1970 vintage.

A haunting nose with soft and supple fruit. Gorgeously harmonious and expressive. Wonderful stuff.

Blend of mostlyTempranillo with a splash of Graciano, deep Ruby with dark edges, aromas of berry fruit, complex spice, oak with earthy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry fruits with cacao, licorice, cinnamon and pepper spice. Fine approachable tannins, good balance, long finish ending with fruit, oak and spice. Very Nice. Consistent quality.

Lovely fruit. Still vigorous. Settled and savory. Dark plum and orange rind, hints of licorice. In good shape

A regulation, reliable mass produced Rioja - nothing more than that.

Started out more new world than past vintages... but wait for it... that typical Rioja-ness kicks in with air. A lot going on in this wine for the price.
