Quantities are down in 2005 but the quality looks excellent. A mixed result in 2004 with good September weather saving the day. 2003 saw good quality and quantity in Rioja. In 2002 the wines were of reasonable quality escaping the rain seen elsewhere in Europe. 2001 is a great vintage in Rioja. Average quality but good quantity has led to a softening in prices in 2000. Good quality in 1999 but frost damage has led to little quantity and consequent price rises. In 1998 good quality was produced but the quantity was low and coupled with strong demand has led to price rises. The 1997 harvest was rain affected so quality and quantity was down. A late harvest saw good quality and quantity in 1996 while 1995 was a superb harvest with very ripe grapes. 1994 saw a good vintage with well structured wines. 1993 was a wet vintage leading to lighter easy drinking wine. In 1992 rain was a problem again but some good wines from early pickings were made. In 1991 the quality was excellent as it was also in 1990 with mild, low acidity reds.
