La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2015

La Rioja Alta Vina Alberdi Reserva 2015

La Rioja Alta 是西班牙百年老莊，除了Gran Reserva旗艦酒890/904之外，Reserve珍藏級Vina Ardanza 和 Vina Alberdi 也非常受飲家歡迎，睇vivino的評價便知一二，性價比很高。

葡萄園來自酒莊在Rodezno和Labastida的自有葡萄園，海拔500~600m，白堊土和粘土土壤，酒莊在這裡的種植歷史已經有3代人。在酒莊自製的美式橡木桶中陳釀。第一年是全新桶，第二年在平均桶齡4年的桶中陳釀，換桶4次。

Tasting Notes From James Suckling:香氣成熟又集中，豐富的草莓，黑莓中隱藏著些許的石墨香，而且香氣非常鮮美。入口酒體飽滿，有咀嚼多肉感。悠長又有個性，收尾也很精細。既適合馬上享用，又適合陳年。

"Aromas of subtle red fruit with plums, spice and cedar. Some dried flowers and dried spices, such as paprika. It’s medium-bodied with some pretty, ripe fruit in the center palate, fine tannins and a citrus and cedar undertone to the finish. Drink or hold."

91 pts Wine Advocate (30th Oct 2020):

"The classic Haro-styled red 2015 Viña Alberdi, sold abroad with the mention of Reserva and in Spain as Crianza, is a good introduction to the house style: balsamic reds with abundant notes of sweet spices and cigar ash, developed aromas of forest floor and a creamy twist making small concessions for a fresher and cleaner profile in the last few years but keeping the classic style. There are notes of ground tobacco and earth, and the palate is seamless and sleek, with polished tannins and a soft mouthfeel. It was bottled in September 2018 after two years in American oak barrels."
