The2005 Senorio De Cuzcurrita is 100% Tempranillo aged for 24 months in French oak. This wine has intense aromas of dark cherries, plums, cedar, violet and earthy spices has a nice rich mouth feel, concentrated fruit, toasty oak, balanced acidity and drying tannins. It is already developing into a elegant and rich Rioja, but is no where near its peak and could easily cellar for another 4-5 years. If you own one in your cellar, I say be patient and you will be rewarded.
This wine was purchase through the LCBO Vintages Classics Collection of February 2001 at $35.00
