Description
This 1950 Rioja is a beautiful wine that reminds me how amazing older wines can be. The nose is very mature, with lots of leather, forest floor, tobacco, cocoa, a variety of spices including clove, as well as dried strawberry and cherry, stewed tomato, tomato leaf, dried herbs, cooked beef, and lots of dried flowers almost like potpourri. On the palate, the fruit is a bit more forward than it is on the nose, and there is a little bit more complexity, which is almost hard to believe after the whirlwind of aromas we were treated to. There is a sense of livelihood on the palate, a certain energy that the wine still has which is really holding together what is a very mature profile. This old man still has a zip in his step, and he's not planning on slowing down any time soon!
