1982 Bodegas Riojanas, Viña Albina 'Millennium Edition' - Rioja Reserva - 3 Bottles (0.75L)

Wine bought in Bodegas Riojanas in 2012. Stored in private cellar up to today. Exceptional storage conditions. Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for next 20 years. 'Millennium Edition' was an extremely limited collection of the best vintages produced by Bodegas Riojanas in the last quarter of the 20th century to celebrate the First Centenary of the winery in 1990. Only the finest casks from the best years were selected and aged separately from the rest. The ageing period was prolonged for a few more years than usual. The wine was planned to be bottled in February 1986 as the regular Reserva. The finest casks were selected by tasting and the wine was aged for 4 more years. Finally, it was hand-bottled directly from the barrel in 1990. Not filtered. The bottles remained in the old cellar in Cenicero village and finally launched in 2000 as "Millenium Edition". Just a few hundred bottles were sold or given to loyal customers. The rest remained stored in the old cellar in Cenicero village for 10 years. Currently, it would be classified "Gran Reserva" by the Regulatory Board of La Rioja. *** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier. Packed in a special wine box officially certified by UPS / DHL. Bottles are packed individually, one by one, and wrapped in a 3 layers bubble wrap. Due to the nature of the wine and the value of the products all lots are shipped with insurance coverage. ***
