Wine beginner - how long to store Riojas?

Hi all,

I am still a beginner - and want to focus more on Rioja as I think its most bang for the buck.

Can you help me in assessing the years when best to drink and how long to store max?

Asking specifically for those wines:

  • Marques de Riscal Reserva 2019

  • La Rioja Alta "Vina Alberdi" Reserva 2019

  • Marques de Murrieta Reserva 2019

  • Tondonia "Vina Bosconia" Reserva 2012

  • La Rioja Alta "Vina Ardanza" Reserva 2017

  • La Rioja Alta "Vina Arana" Gran Reserva 2016

  • Tondonia "Vina Tondonia" Reserva 2011

I am asking for specific years - and there are so many contradicting statements on how long to store Riojas in general, so maybe you can help me :)

Can they be stored 30 years from bottling date?

THANKS a lot for your input/support from Germany
