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.

Golden color. Lemon, citrus on the nose. Spritzey mouth filling acidity with lemon and citrus flavors. Acidity remains on the finish. A great wine for the money.

Pale golden yellow in color. Light floral nose with a hint of lemon citrus. Good acidity with nice mouth feel, crisp and clean with a slight nuttiness on the palate. Went well with tilapia fillets with mushrooms, onions, garlic, tomatoes and spinach.

Kathleen, yes, I go for just about any wine regardless of color. However, I only buy 1 or 2 roses at a time and only in the summer months. Ron
