Bodegas Faustino V RESERVA Rioja 1995

As Old School as Old School gets. Kinda guilty pleasures, though and until the mid-90s these were often great, fruitful rounded and earthy wines. Fantastic with slightly gamey food like roasted goat leg. Their two wines are Faustino 1: a Gran Reserva and Faustino V, a Reserva. As well as quality/ageing differentials, there's a bit of blending difference. F1 is Tempranillo-Graciano-Mazuelo (a little more acid), while FV has just Mazeulo in the blend. 1995 is a truly great vintage.
