Olivier Riviere Losares, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2016 Azienda Agricola Roccheviberti Domaine Spiropoulos has managed toI was blown away by the two previous vintages, and I find the Losares quite open and not as precise as I expected it. I tasted from two bottles, and they were similar. The palate shows much better, with serious tannins and a chalky texture. It comes from an extremely old vineyard.
