Without question, this was one of the great vintages of the 20th century in Rioja. Moreover, this is possibly the wine of that extraordinary vintage. A blend of 75% Tempranillo and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon this is Riscal’s famous ‘Cuvee Medoc’. It possesses a stunning nose of musk and shoe polish. Though clearly mature, the palate is in great shape with sweet cedar tinged red fruits, apricot, beeswax and a touch of truffle oil. The tannins and freshness are terrific providing ample structure and density. Quite extraordinary. You could keep this for a little longer, but I don’t think it will improve.
