Personal Note:
There are very few 2005 Rioja’s I haven’t liked, I just didn’t expect this one to be so good. The best part was, I opened it late night on a wednesday, but it was a 500ml bottle and I was pulling an all nighter for work. Needless to say, unlike Thanksgiving dinner, there were no leftovers the next day.
