Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva 1964 spirits-template in retro smell there are

in retro smell there are notes of crust of rye bread and red flowers

but the aromatic complexity and the value are huge

Campo Viejo Rioja Reserva 1964 spirits-template in retro smell there areThe 1964 vintage is considered Rioja's vintage of the century, and this Campo Viejo Reserva represents that legendary year. A Tempranillo based blend, it was aged well beyond the required minimum in oakstandard practice for Reserva classification in the 1960s. This bottle carries the weight of six decades, displaying the evolved complexity that only time can deliver. A remarkable time capsule from Spain's golden age of wine.
