Bodegas Alavesas, Solar de Samaniego Rioja

The 1970 Solar de Samaniego Gran Reserva from Bodegas Alavesas stands as a testament to the elegance and longevity of traditional Rioja winemaking. Crafted predominantly from Tempranillo, with a small proportion of Viura, this wine hails from the Rioja Alavesa subregion, renowned for its high-altitude vineyards and limestone-rich soils. The 1970 vintage benefited from favorable climatic conditions, allowing for optimal grape ripeness and the development of complex flavors.

Upon pouring, the wine reveals a deep garnet hue, indicative of its age and maturation. The nose is notably aromatic, offering an intriguing bouquet of campfire smoke, red meat, and mesquite, which gradually gives way to red fruits, ripe oranges, and tangerines. …

Good-quality Sangiovese is prized for its high acid, firm tannins and balanced nature. Savory flavors of dark cherries and black stone fruit are characteristic, and may be backed by secondary notes of tomato leaf and dried herbs. The use of oak has become more popular and this coaxes richer flavors from the grapes, tending toward plum and wild raspberry.

Vintage Port
Excellent Levels

The 1970 Taylor's Vintage Port is a consistently high performer and rated as one of the best of the 1970 ports.

99 points Wine Enthusiast
This wine's dark garnet color with minimal bricking suggests a relatively youthful wine and this certainly could age longer, although it's also delicious now. Wonderfully complex floral and herbal scents easily move into deep, rich flavors of chocolate and cherries, sprinkled with a healthy dose of Douro minerality and spice. Drink or hold. (JC) (2/2007)

Includes Taylor's oak gift case

Taylor’s has an extensive and enviable library of very old Ports and each year they release a 50 year old Single Harvest Port which represents the cream of their aged reserves.

And the 1970 Port vintage was of one outstanding quality - ideal growing conditions produced what is now a classic vintage - universally declared by all the major port houses.

The Valpolicella zone is bordered to the west by the Bardolino DOC, located along the banks of Lake Garda, which produces similar wines to basic Valpolicella using many of the same grapes. The historical "heart" of Valpolicella winemaking is in the Monti Lessini hills located northwest of the town of Verona. In 1968, the boundaries of the region were extended far eastward towards the DOC production zone of Soave and south to the plains of the northern bank of the Po river and its tributary the Adige.
