| 2004 Bodegas Aldeanueva Cortijo III Tinto: Bodegas Aldeanueva’s 2004 Cortijo III Tinto (made from 100% Tempranillo) is a tank -fermented and aged Rioja that sells for a song. In fact, I cannot think of another Rioja at this price level that offers this much character and fruit. Its moderate ruby color is accompanied by a sweet nose of strawberries, cherries, spice box, dried herbs, and tobacco. With a lush texture, medium body, and no hard edges, it should provide plenty of pleasure over the next 1-2 years. This is an excellent bargain.
