2002 Bodegas Bretón Rioja Loriñón Crianza
(2008-06-04 03:47:25 UTC) buddy icon 2002 Bodegas Bretón Rioja Loriñón Crianza 90/100

Nice ruby red color. Cassis and a hint of vanilla on the nose. Mouth filling medium body with firm tannins. Intense red fruits with vanilla and a nice long finish. I have another bottle which I think I will keep another year before having, if I can wait that long. A definite winner.

Light golden color, citrus and minerals on the nose, spritzy mouth feel, nice acidity with mineral and fruit flavors. A hint of peaches on the finish. Just right level of sweetness and not over powering.

Very pale color, almost clear. Nose of brine and minerals which was different. The flavor was spritzy and very briny with no fruit at all, one dimensional, with good acidity. Not to my liking
