Vina Valoria Rioja Cosecha 1995, Spain

An excellent opportunity to taste and absorb the DNA from 1995 is rare indeed in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Be sure to give the wine a few minutes to open up once the cork is pulled. Aromas and flavours of fallen leaves and sweet rose, plums and licorice, spiced black tea and crumbled clay soils. Still some tautness with tannins and acidity engaging, that said they are integrating well and frame the fruits, flavours and overall style of the wine well. A dry, lengthy and complex finish with suggestions of coffee bean and vanilla, old leather and vintage car upholstery memories. Best drinking from day of purchase through 2030.

The cork can be soft so don’t rush at pulling it out.
