One of the great Rioja pioneers, Luis Cañas (who died recently in his early 90s) was the man who really put Rioja Alavesa on the map, and this wine is a fitting testament to that achievement; old vines tended organically (mainly Tempranillo) and then aged in half-and-half American and French oak. The 2005 is superb now; still magisterial in colour, the primary fruit having ceded to a rich savoury seam, balsamic suede and bitter chocolate vying for attention. The finish is magnificent, even after all these years.
