with lush notes of passionfruit

cinnamon and pear

and five garden-like parcels – a wine with ferocious concentration yet fresh-as-a-daisy acidity

2020 | La Rioja Alta S.A. Vina Alberdi Reserva | Rioja Clos Erasmus with lush notes of passionfruitA classical, typical Rioja Alta red with elegant notes of vanilla, coconut, smoked spices and strawberries. Refined and suave, with fine tannins and a long, creamy finish. Juicy and elegant. Really approachable now, but give it two more years to get more mushroom complexity. 93 Pts James Suckling
