點(diǎn)擊次數(shù)：909

The 2004 Collecion Jaime Rodriquez, from a great Rioja vintage, is a selection of the estate’s best vineyard with 24 months aging in new French oak. It is a blend of 75% Tempranillo and 25% Garnacha. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it gives up a brooding bouquet of Asian spices, sandalwood, graphite, incense, black cherry, and blackberry. Rich, layered, and plush on the palate, it has loads of spicy black fruit, excellent balance with the oak totally integrated, and a lengthy, pure finish. Drink it from 2014 to 2029. Officially known as Bodegas Y Vinedos Granja Ntra. Sra. De Remelluri, but known to fans as simply Remelluri, this remains one of Rioja’s reference points.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

The 2003 Remelluri Collecion Jaime Rodriguez is a blend of 75% Tempranillo and 25% Garnacha. It is a selection of the winery’s top vineyards and was aged in new French oak for 24 months. The nose is slightly reticent but with coaxing offers up notes of toasty oak, smoke, violets, spice box, and blackberry. Full-bodied and opulent, this richly fruited wine exhibits incipient complexity, superb grip, savory fruit, and a long, pure finish. It requires a minimum of 4-6 years of additional cellaring and will offer prime drinking from 2014 to 2028. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767

The 2002 Coleccion Jaime Rodriguez went through malolactic fermentation in new French oak and remained in barrel for 24 months. It is purple-colored with aromas of pain grille, spice box, black berry, and black cherry. This leads to a structured wine but one that is lacking some depth. Give it 3-5 years in the cellar and drink it through 2020. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain; tel. (781) 461-5767

The prodigious 2001 Coleccion Jaime Rodriguez boasts a dense ruby/purple color in addition to a rich, sumptuous bouquet of black raspberries, violets, spicy oak, chocolate, and pain grille, an opulent, multilayered, rich, creamy-textured style, and abundant tannin lurking beneath all the concentration and glycerin. It should drink well for 7-8 years. Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
