La Nieta 2004

The great 2004 La Nieta offers up an enthralling, still brooding nose of sandalwood, incense, Asian spices, lavender, truffle, black cherry, and blackberry. It is the densest, richest, most complex La Nieta to date, but for those who can wait a decade, it is only revealing a fraction of its full potential. It admirably reflects the magnitude of the 2004 vintage in Rioja.
