Bodegas Benito Urbina, Gran Reserva Especial Rioja 2004 Pierre Peters Youthful and herbal on theA fantastic example of mature Rioja from the vintage 2004. Definitely decant and expect complex aromas of soft leather, sweet spice and red fruit, a whiff of mushroom and dried tea leaf and a balsamic note with beautifully integrated fruit and oak on the palate, fresh acidity and a silky texture. Pair with slow cooked milk fed lamb cordero lechal the local favourite, or beef wellington.
