So my blog has been really slacking lately. Sorry to those loyal readers that are hoping
for more regular posts J
Unfortunately my day job prevents me from keeping this up. Spring is my
craziest time making signs and therefore I need to take a break here and there
to do actual work. J I am still drinking lots of wine but unfortunately
only time to make ‘mico blogs’ aka tweets, about them.
Here is my attempt at getting back into the real blogging!
Beronia Gran Reserva 2004
SKU: 200782 | 6 per Case
Gran reserva wines in Rioja require a minimum of 60 months
of aging (24 of it in oak).
This is certainly evident when you first open the wine and
smell notes of oak and cedar coming through quite predominantly. Given an
aggressive decant or time in the glass you will begin to notice the fruit
coming through. Dark earth gives way to dried cherries and plums. Cedar turns
to blackcurrant leaf. Vanilla beans follow. Silky (medium) tannins and
mouth-watering (medium+) acidity balance out this rich (medium+) body wine.
Still a bit young for my drinking style with a few hours of
decanting this wine is very apt to develop into a beautiful evening J
Drink now till 2017
