Sierra Cantabria Rioja Grand Res 04

$85.85 750 MLS

Sierra Cantabria Rioja Gran Reserva 2004 (17.5+/20), at 14.0% alc, 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano, aged 24 months in 25% new US oak barriques. Brilliant deep ruby red in colour, this had a deep bouquet of ripe, dark plums with well-balanced oak spice. Fine-grained and elegant on palate, this had ripe and luscious red fruit flavours well-framed within a firm and dry framework. Not quite the sweetness here, but there was a suspicion of TCA dumbing the fruit expression in this bottle. Other bottles maybe 18.5/20. RC Aug 10

Easter weekend I flew up to Auckland and had a great time visiting family. I made sure I went to Maison Vauron, a must if you enjoy French wines and also Galbraiths to try a few craft beers.

Roast Chicken for dinner evidently. Which Kumeu River Chardy shall I choose?
