Viña Gravonia Crianza Rioja Viura

Nose is immediately opulent, with candied orange, almost marmalade, and a hint of petrol early doors (this passed by the second day). Reads like a cross between Sauternes and old Burgundy.

This is tremendously rich and hedonistic, an old-school, opulent wine with firm tannins and a honeyed edge. By the second night, a vibrant, lively acidity emerged and brought the wine to life on the finish.

Shockingly complex, this is a wine that provides intrigue with every sip, and yet seems endless. Without a doubt improved by 2+ hours decanting. An outrageously good accompaniment to good quality Serrano ham. A very youthful wine to drink now, or over the coming decade. Very memorable.

Good not great. Waxy and zippy

Paled in comparison to the ‘87 I had last weekend but still so lovely!

Slightly corked. Always an issue with Lopez wines. I’ve had so many good ones and so many blah ones.. oh well 🤷🏻‍♂️

This was a stellar bottle man! Wow

Funky!!! Capital F

2006 J aime le côté oxydatatif de ce vin!

Another selection from the Lumia-Haro taster’s dozen. Never had a white rioja before. Very interesting: very well done. Full-bodied and creamy showing tropical and coconut. This is not for the meek or inexperienced. Serious oenophiles only.

Probably the most interesting Rose I’ve ever had . Extremely rare and hard to get and I can see why.
