Paisajes - La Pasada 2014 (1x75cl)

This Rioja now has more than ten years in bottle, which is the part that matters. Mature reds don't shout the way young ones do; they trade some fruit for softer edges and more savoury character, and that's exactly why people go looking for them.

A good bottle to open with jamon, lamb or a slow-cooked stew, or to give to someone who likes older wine but doesn't want to buy young and wait. Free HK delivery over HK$800, flat HK$80 below, 2-5 business days.

Tasting notes

Wines with this much age can vary. Rioja at ten-plus years usually turns more savoury and dried-fruited with softer tannin. Stand it upright for a day and pour gently off any sediment.
