2007 Bodegas Loa Tinto Rioja
Secondary Description
The best of all possible worlds, this. It`s Rioja that tastes like St-Julien, thus bringing us full circle to when Rioja was poor man`s claret. No American oak means no coconut and allows the Loa`s complex fruit and minerality to strut its stuff. (CW 28/07/13)

Media Reviews
Decanter Panel
Intense currant, baked fruit, toasty cedar, pencil lead, smoke and vanilla bouquet. Fresh, intense and woody palate offering a rich, ripe entry, sumptuous syrupy fruit lifted by balsamic and very well-handled tannins. Classy stuff. 5 stars (18.67/20 points)
Jancis Robinson
Silly heavy bottle but healthy transparent crimson. Attractive fresh strawberry and light oak nose. Nicely splits the difference between ancient and modern styles of rioja. Spicy and appetising. Already broachable. Vital. Nothing overdone. Not cheap mind. 17 points
