Bodegas Navajas Rioja Tinto Reserva 2005 La Rioja
Producer: Bodegas Navajas
Tasting Notes:
Dark cherry colour with some tawny hints as a reflection of its maturation in oak it is a noble Rioja with a powerful and intriguing aroma of fruit toasted oak and some herbal nuances. On the palate it has impressive phenolic expression with unctuos character and mouth feel. The flavours are cheifly red cherry and delicately spicy vanilla. More than the 2003 this has added grip and colour.

Founded in 1918 and first brought to our attention by Hubrecht Duijker in the early 1980s - when he commented that the reds all had 'good deep colour, a beautiful vanilla perfume and a quite substantial taste with a gratifying measure of fruit, freshness, wood and tannin... this modest family concern has as yet done little exporting...' - Bodegas Navajas has come a long way since; built themselves a new winery - its cellars already extended to accommodate the ever amassing aromatic white Virginia oak barrels made by local family coopers Murúa - and a whole new office complex. The volume of production, though, remains more or less as ever; and Antonio continues to vinify approximately a million kilos - his wines now in a myriad of export markets including the UK (Harrods was his first customer!), Belgium, France, Holland, Luxembourg, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and more recently the US, Canada, and the Czech Republic ; though his offerings are rarely seen in Spain: an ardent Barça fan, this was Antonio's best domestic customer for some years though currently it is the Spanish Navy!
