The Wine Advocate # 243 - 28th Jun 2019 - Luis Gutiérrez - 2016 Telmo Rodríguez • Corriente - 91/100 - $20 - 2019 - 2021
The entry-level red from Rioja 2016 Corriente is always a sure value, but the 2016 is truly exceptional, possibly the finest vintage they have bottled to date. It's floral and aromatic, very elegant and balanced. There are fine tannins, a chalky minerality and a supple finish. This is a great Rioja with freshness and typicity. 55,000 bottles.
