Cune Rioja Reserva 05

$42.95 750 MLS

CUNE Rioja Reserva 2005 (17.5/20), 13.6% alc, 80% Tempranillo and 20% Mazuelo with Garnacha, aged 2 years in French and US oak. Deep ruby red in colour, this had an elegant nose with ripe red berries, spicy oak and some funky game aromas, quite open in style. A well-proportioned wine in palate, this had soft red fruit flavours, distinctive oak vanillins and moderate acidity. A brettanomyces element became evident with breathing. Supple and approachable, for drinking now-5 years. RC Aug 10
