Faustino Rivero Ulecia 2008 Reserva

 

Variety: Tempranillo, Garnacha
Region: Rioja
Vintage: 2008
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Deep purple
Alcohol: 13.00%
Bouquet: Piercing sour cherry, rotting/damp twigs on a forest floor
Flavour: Gentle, smooth with just ripe red currants flavours easing into soft tannins for the finish
Points: 85 (4+7+11+6+7+50)
Notes: Solid wine after wondering what $13.00~250Kc buys in terms of entry level reserva at a liquor warehouse. Ready to celebrate the cooler weather with a few reds now.
