| 75 | | | 93 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Are there wines that in the middle of this economic meltdown still warrant brushing off one’s savings to spare extra dollars for a real winner? Absolutely. Older Riojas that have been properly cellared can return so much pleasure that when one has the opportunity to snag one this good, one should jump at it. The grape are Tempranillo (80%), Graciano (10%) and Mazuelo (10%), all traditional Riojano grapes. Medium-bodied, the wine shows a bright cherry color that still exudes youth, and the aromas belie the wine;s age, with fresh, ripe dark and red fruits showing throughout. On the palate, well-resolved tannins embrace the fruit, leaving a beautifully integrated sensation. Foods: Let the wine showcase here, and keep foods simple, focusing on leg of lamb, prime rib, duck, game (both feathered and furred), and roast pork.
