Bodegas Casado Morales
EME Rioja Graciano
La Rioja Alavesa, La Rioja, Spain
If you bought any 2007 Spanish wine you made a poor decision. I have a case of 2010 and opened one bottle out of impatience. Chilled decanted and one hour to breath. In 3 more years this will be amazing. It's pretty good already. So today it's a an easy 8.5 and in 3 more years I can see it being a 9.5. Dry smooth. Butter nuts berries orange pepper and earthy on the memorable though still tannic finish.

A core of ripe fruit that is a tad to ripe for me, but firm tannin helps to balance it out. Enjoyed better on day 2. Can see why graciano is used for blending because of it colour and tannin.
