Bideona Laguardia L4GD4 Viñas Viejas 2020

The 2020 L4GD4 Viñas Viejas is 100% Tempranillo sourced from Laguardia, Rioja Alavesa. Aged in concrete vats and foudres, this cherry-red wine reveals ripe balsamic notes alongside herbs and black fruits. Dry and silky, with fine-grained tannins, it features a vibrant, refreshing core and a mouthwatering, energetic finish. This is a unique, flavorful, primary Rioja. Also of note, its clever, elusive name subtly alludes to the place without explicitly mentioning it, adhering to the labeling regulations in Rioja. Drinking window: 2024-2040. Score – 94.
