The 2009 Capitosa spent 8 months in barrel. Earthy minerals, toast, Asian spices, black cherry, and blackberry aromas inform the nose of a sweetly-fruited, forward, easy-to-understand, savory Rioja that is an excellent value that will drink well through 2017. It affords a preview of the top cuvees of the outstanding 2009 vintage.
As usual, the latest releases from Bodegas Altanza are first class.
