La Rioja Alta, Rioja, Vina Alberdi, Reserva 1995

Base neck

Agree with the previous note, which is pretty spot on. If guessing blind, would have very easily confused with a decent Bourdeaux from the 1990s. Knowing what's in the glass, it was a little easier to identify the maybe slightly sweeter red fruit profile and hints of coconut/dill on the finish. This is fully mature, but should hold for a few more years. 12/20/2022

The most developed of the three. More advanced than last time I had this wine. I would say, this is already passing the peak of the curve. It is enjoyable nonetheless. Lots of leather, humidor, wet library floor notes. But there is fruit at the core. This wine has the most noticeable oak and as much extract as the Arana. Very Bordeaux in style. The Arana is right in between this and Muga. Dark fruits, tobacco and rounded texture. Mid to high acid. Well integrated. If this bottle had better storage, I'd say it can keep another 5 to 8 years, but at this state, I would drink now. 2/10/2018
