1979 Rioja Bordón Reserva, Bodegas Franco-Españolas
A finely matured nose with notes of cooked strawberries, smoke, dill oil, shoe cream and wet earth. Complex and fine. Holds all night long.
The taste is round, silky and dry with notes of dried strawberries, herbs, cooked root vegetables and moist earth. A long finish with a fine warmth. Very, very good. Has probably been mature for some years but bottles like this could be drunk with pleasure for another 5+ years.
