As good as this is though

I had the opportunity to taste verticals of 2 of La Rioja Altas wines

it is a very elegant Port with a touch of understatement

Based on the 2008 vintage

Joseph Drouhin, Beaune Greves Rouge other_regions As good as this is(from a . 80 ha parcel in the climat of Sur les Grves). A deft application of wood frames slightly riper aromas of spicy black raspberry, cherry and lovely floral nuances and in particular, violet. The delicious and tautly muscular flavors possess very good verve while the firm, serious and youthfully austere finish makes clear that this is definitely built to age. This is excellent though a wine that will need at least a few years of patience.
