Bodegas Urbina Rioja Reserva Especial 2006

They've done it again.  Urbina has released a wine you won't see an Australian producer do - this time they've released a 17-old Red from their cellar, drinking beautifully for just $75.  Our price is the best in Australia, our competitor's have this for between $80-$90! 
When you try it, you won't think it's almost 2 decades old.  The palate dances a perfect line between aged of rich (17 year old) fruit and savouriness.  the soft tannins, that only comes with age are a bonus.  The professional wine reviewers love it, here's a snippet:

''If you love mature, traditionally made Rioja, this will put a smile on your face and a song on your lips.'' 96 Points, Tim Atkin MW, Special Rioja Report 2019

''Developed style, with lots of vanilla, freshness, dried herbs and fruits. Crisp brambly acidity that is still full of energy.'' The Decanter Rioja Guide 2023

Bodegas Urbina is a 4th generation Spanish producer and each year they release a back vintage - this 2006 is a standout release.  While it's a little rare to see a Rioja Reserva at this price, it's almost unheard of to see a 17 year old example full stop and that's what makes this wine that just little but special. Of course stocks are limited and will sell out.  Be quick.
