1964 Gran Reserva, Gómez Cruzado, Rioja
What a find! In the 1960s, this was one of the most prestigious estates in Rioja. Situated in Haro next to Muga and C.V.N.E.,they hold some fantastic vineyards. Currently relatively unknown, they are a slumbering giant. 1964 is the vintage for Rioja; I have tasted various wines from different estates and classifications and they all have the same sweet fruit, vibrancy and youthfulness. Retasted later that evening, it remained fresh and had gained a layer or two!
