1970 Bodegas Bilbainas Vina Pomal Rioja Reserva [JG91]

Producer: Bilbainas     Region: Rioja, Spain  Varietal: Tempranillo  Year: 1970  John Gilman, 91 Points  "The 1970 Viña Pomal Reserva is a lovely bottle that still remains comfortably in its plateau of peak maturity and is drinking with style and grace. The lovely nose wafts from the glass in a very pretty combination of raspberries, cloves, cinnamon, a good base of soil, lavender and a touch of cedary oak tones. On the palate the wine is bright, full-bodied and silky, with fine focus and grip, melted tannin and a long, complex and very enjoyable finish."  Alcohol: 11-14%  *Discounts do not apply to items like this one in the Fine & Rare category.
