Review:

Some of you remember I mention this wine when I did a review on the Almena Real 2001, decided to buy one to taste, as 2001 Rioja is nearly non-existent on the supermarket shelves.

This 2003 Spanish Rioja is a bit bitter and dry, with strong oaky flavour, and it is semi smooth, finishing with dryness with was a bit too plain.

It wasn't as good as 2001, as it has loss the spiciness, but the strong wine flavour is still there, 2003 wasn't a too good year for Rioja.

Tasted the wine? Why not give us your star opinion.
