Velvet in the Glass

There are regions and varieties that instead of producing wines with substantial tannins and power, deliver wines of great elegance and complexity. The Pinot Noir-based red wines of Burgundy represent the pinnacle of this style. At the same time, some of the most age-worthy wines of the world also achieve incomparable finesse as they get older, as great Rioja Gran Reservas show. For a significant number of wine aficionados these are the finest wines in the world. This tasting is devoted to the appreciation of these elegant and complex wines.
