Description
92 points Richard Jennings: “Bricked medium red violet color with pale meniscus; very mature, mushroom, dried orange, cranberry nose; mature, dried orange, dried cherry, cranberry, dill palate with medium acidity; could go 8+ years; medium-plus finish. (8/23/12)”
91 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): “The 1950 Rioja Gran Reserva from Bodegas Berberana is a really lovely bottle that is still at its plateau of maturity and drinking splendidly. The complex and utterly classic nose wafts from the glass in a blend of cherries, blood orange, a touch of mincemeat, cloves, spicy soil tones, gentle notes of celery seed and coconutty American oak. On the palate the wine is medium-full, suave and pure, with a fine core of fruit, lovely transparency down to the soil, sound acids, melted tannins and lovely grip on the long and classy finish. Just a beautiful bottle of old, velvety Rioja. 2012-2025. (May/Jun 2014)”
