    Day 1: Nice featuring wood, mild dill, raspberries, blueberries, spice and floral notes. Balanced and nice acidity. A real winner for under $20.00. 92 points

Loved the 09. In my opinion no one does better at all prices in Spain than La Rioja Alta! [cheers.gif]

Drinking the 2015 Viña Alberdi right now. Similar notes to what you posted for the 2013. Just a fantastic value! Will definitely be buying more.
