"Archetypical 1964, the wonder vintage in Rioja. The word to define this wine is balance. Fair aromatic intensity, with orange peel aromas, cinnamon and clove notes, forest floor and intense dried fruit. Very lively. Suave, velvety, well structured but gentle on the palate, finishing slowly with much refinement. Unmistakably Rioja, in a style of its own, delicious. I have tasted this wine several times in the last 40 years, and can assure you that I have changed much more than the wine." 

Alcohol: 11-14%
