Die Verkostungsnotizen der im Juni bereits als Printausgabe erschienenen Ausgabe Nr. 189 von Robert Parkers »
The Wine Advocate« sind nun auch online einsehbar. Zahlende Abonnenten haben hier Zugriff auf Tausende von Bewertungen. Eines der Schwerpunktthemen im Juni war das Thema Rioja. Zu den dort von Jay Miller verkosteten Weinen gehört auch der ›
Colección Vivanco 4 Varietalis Tinto 2007‹ von
Dinastía Vivanco, der mit sehr guten 91/100 Punkten bewertet wurde. Nachfolgend für alle Nicht-Abonnenten das Original der Verkostungsnotiz zur Rotwein-
Cuvée aus der
D.O.C. Rioja:
„Dinastia Vivanco’s flagship wines are labeled Coleccion. The 2007 Coleccion Vivanco 4 Varietales is a blend of
Tempranillo,
Graciano,
Garnacha, and
Mazuelo (with the percentages subject to change from year to year). It offers up a toasty nose with a hint of coconut along with an assortment of red and black fruits. Smooth-textured, concentrated, and lengthy, it has enough structure to evolve for 2-3 years but can be enjoyed now.
Bodega Dinastia Vivanco is a must visit for wine tourists. The winery is designed to be accessible to visitors but the principal attraction is the finest wine museum I have ever seen. Called
Museo de la Cultura del Vino, it is beautifully designed and filled to the brim with artifacts from all aspects of wine from farming to drinking. As for the wines, Dinastia Vivanco has been flying under the radar screen. Their previous American importer did little to promote the wines; I had never heard of the Bodega before this visit. However, they now have a national importer who figures to do a much better job. Dinastia Vivanco’s entry level wines offer good value.”
