Compania Bodeguera Valenciso 10 Anos Despues Edicion Limitada Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2012 Jura ripe plum and blackberry aromasThe purity of the 2008 10 Aos Despus transports me to the Rioja wines from yesteryear, even if the levage was quite different from those wines. This matured in concrete for four and a half years and the spend five and a half years in oak barrels from the Caucasus. It seems to have more stuffing than the 2007, and the oak is also better integrated. It feels youngyou wouldn't guess it's already ten years oldand it has the textbook aromas from Rioja.
