Rioja Gran Reserva, Bodegas Urbina 2004
Good news from Spain: the enchanting complexity of fully aged Rioja is returning to FromVineyardsDirect via Bodegas Urbina's Rioja Gran Reserva 2004 and their Reserva Especial 2006. You've loved them before, now's your chance to do so again.
It's love of Rioja as it should be. Because the dedicated drinker understands how crucial it is that such high-quality cuvées undergo lengthy, undisturbed cellaring to reach their full potential. A minimum of a decade, preferably closer to two. Long, patient years for developing the exquisite aromas and complex flavours that solidify your drinking loyalty.
But who's got the time - or this patience - to wait so long? Instead, by taking advantage of our special pricing on these very especial bottles, you need not wait. Instead, you can now explicitly experience what Decanter magazine describe in their 2023 Rioja Guide as "wines with great ageing capacity."
We’re confident in every bottle of wine we sell at FromVineyardsDirect
If you don’t like any bottle, for whatever reason, please let us know and we will replace the wine or refund you.

I am not usually a Rioja drinker, finding it somewhat oaky but this I really enjoyed. It was smooth, silky and lingered pleasantly on the palate. As you can gather, I am not a professional, lacking the finesse of the experts but I loved this as did two of my children and, to my surprise, my other half.
