A drinkable BiB!
Marques de Vitoria 1861 is a forward, easygoing and refreshingly kind on the oak Rioja. Same grapematerial as in the Crianza, but less oak, which is normally a very good thing in Rioja. But the BiB packaging makes wine less fresh and drowned in SO2. This would probably be quite nice in bottle. 81
2008 Marques de Vitoria Crianza:
Ruby. Spicy blueberries and licorice. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, easy and forward, good length. 82
2005 Marques de Vitoria Reserva:
Ruby. Spicy, floral and up front oak. Licorice and blueberries
behind. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, fruit driven. Oak ever present. 84
2004 Marques de Vitoria Gran Reserva:
Deep ruby, garnet rim. Rich, dark fruit and vanilla. Fresh acidity, ripe tannins, oak holdes things here as well. 85
