Baron de Barbon 2009 Rioja Blanco

Variety: Viura
Regio: Rioja
Colour: Straw Yellow
Alcohol: 13.0%
Bouquet: Bottle age is the initial sensation, with juicy, very ripe pineapple not far behind
Flavour: Generous lemon flavours in this fuller style white which has something different, almost almond like, hints of oxidation you have in a fortified wine
Points: 88 (4+8+12+6+8+50)
Notes: At $16.50(~300 Kc) this is a very reasonably priced. Interestingly, online it is recommended that this should be drunk early and has flower aromas. It has a very nice development and I think it will be appreciated by those who enjoy a good aged white
