| Community Tasting Notes (average 89.9 pts. and median of 91 pts. in 104 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by AMG4RPM on 5/4/2024 & rated 93 points: Excellent wine. Lush initial fruit on the palate. Followed by rich, smooth, mid-palate development . Allow for an hourlong decanting. (196 views) | | | Tasted by SMHalps on 7/25/2023 & rated 89 points: My last of 6 bottles I purchased when it was released. My favorite of the 6 bottles, maybe a little age helped it out. As usual, when I've brought this to a tasting, others liked it more than I did. (1601 views) | | | Tasted by Les Kangas on 7/5/2023 & rated 94 points: Decanted 1.5 hrs before consuming in Reidel Syrah glass. Fabulous wine with tritip steak. I liked much better than the 2006 Flor de Pingus I had a few months ago. (1509 views) | | | Tasted by rbs1 on 5/7/2023 & rated 93 points: Open at least 2 hours before drinking (1616 views) | | | Tasted by SMHalps on 4/16/2023 & rated 87 points: Part of a Value wine and Pizza night with my wine group. Not really my style of wine, but the rest of group really enjoyed it. They all would have given it 91 points or more. (1737 views) | | | Tasted by Sunilo44094 on 4/14/2023 & rated 91 points: God. Bra taniner och bra frukt medel längd (1603 views) | | | Tasted by astifors on 11/26/2022 & rated 91 points: 91p after 3 hours aerating. Black fruit and a dryness at start. Felt a little thin in the palette. After decanting and aerating much better. Still young and a little closed. Will wait until 2024 for remaing bottles. (1543 views) | | | Tasted by merdmark on 11/25/2022 flawed bottle: I’m really confused. Either this needs another 10 years of aging, or it was a bad bottle. Very “disjointed” and not integrated at all. Acid, alcohol and very thin. I will let my other bottle rest until after 2030 (1423 views) | | | Tasted by opd99 on 10/10/2022 & rated 90 points: 초반엔 덜 풀린 느낌..1시간이후 베스트 (1631 views) | | | Tasted by Likawine on 9/13/2022 & rated 91 points: Still young.
Nice tannins, black fruit. (1735 views) | | | Tasted by Madera16 on 8/27/2022: Very rich, full juice. Not exactly expressive aromatically, but I think that’s in part the nature of tempranillo and also the total absence of oak in the elevage. I think younger ones should be okay to drink — it’s just the style of this bottling. (1607 views) | | | Tasted by AMG4RPM on 8/11/2022 & rated 92 points: Good example of a Ribera do Douro, well structured, fine lingering finish. Pairs well with chorizo tapas. (1336 views) | | | Tasted by SirJ on 3/11/2022 & rated 91 points: Wine 10 of 13. (1910 views) | | | Tasted by MeasuredTime on 8/23/2021 & rated 81 points: Odd nose and flavor. Not a flawed bottle, I think this is just how it tastes. Dark color, no recognizable fruit, but a green olive note. Weird. (2837 views) | | | Tasted by Lewerentz on 4/17/2021 & rated 88 points: Quick decant, A bit thin. Nice structure 88+ (3244 views) | | | Tasted by awever on 4/16/2021 & rated 90 points: Sehr leckerer Standard, aber nichts wirklich besonderes, vielleicht zu jung getrunken (2891 views) | | | Tasted by MAXIMUM SATISFACTION on 2/10/2021 & rated 93 points: Substantially better this time around. Animal funk is almost completely gone with nice ripe dark fruit and iodine coming through. Not the most complex but the luxurious texture makes up for that. Nice wine for the price that just needed a couple years after release. (3605 views) | | | Tasted by Juliansi on 1/12/2021 & rated 88 points: Loved this, beautiful balance and a wonderful sub RM 200 bottle. Did a 4 hour bottle decant which helped! Great long finish and stood up even in the company of Pintia! Cheers on Chor 10 of Chinese new year 2021!
Malaysia - 12 Jan 2021 (1178 views) | | | Tasted by Chied on 10/20/2020 & rated 92 points: Very nice with about an hour and a half before drinking. (3084 views) | | | Tasted by Raccoon66 on 10/17/2020: Peter Siessek dänische Starönologe (2510 views) | | | Tasted by Raccoon66 on 10/17/2020: Pingus (2460 views) | | | Tasted by quaffnov on 8/5/2020 & rated 91 points: This note is about a coravin'd pour................very tight in the glass with no decant time but still very palataqble, with dark fruit and oak and a ton of grippy tannins that after a half an hour in the glass relaxed and allowed the expression of the tempranillo to a much greater degree. Ready to drink, with a fuller mouthfeel and a reasonably long finish, the rest rest of the bottle will be fully decanted in the future, will make a comparison note then.
2nd note 8/27/20 - the coravin did not come through with this bottle, the remainder of the bottle was DOA, with zero flavor. First time the coravin had not done its job. (2882 views) | | | Tasted by Chied on 6/15/2020 & rated 91 points: Excellent example of RDD winemaking! (2585 views) | | | Tasted by tonyhuang on 6/5/2020 & rated 90 points: The wine was pretty close, showing mostly cedar notes with few fruit flavor, huge tannin structure, which I rated 88. The wine opened up a lot on the second night, tannin mellows down, showing more sour fruit flavor, much more pleasant, 90+ (2308 views) | | | Tasted by Genghis88 on 4/12/2020 & rated 90 points: Deep,dark burgundy in color, verging on inky. Full bodied.
Not a lot off the nose. Some graphite, dark fruit, some meatiness
Full bodies, rich and succulent. Lots of dark fruit with a medium finish. Well balanced, and NOT a fruit bomb. Should age well. Good QPR.
I was impressed with this wine/ A good wine as to be expected. Lovely especially with red meat, although can be sipped alone.

| Tempranillo Varietal character (Appellation America) | TAPAS: Tempranillo Advocates, Producers and Amigos Society
Tempranillo is the premium red wine grape variety from the Rioja and Ribera del Duero region in Spain. Tempranillo's aromas and flavors often combine elements of berryish fruit, herbaceousness, and an earthy-leathery minerality. Being low in acidity and sugar content, it is commonly blended with Carignan (Mazuela), Grenache (Garnacha), Graciano, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

The varietal is at its best in top Riojas, where oak aging is employed to generate increased complexity and harmony. From the best sites, these wines can be remarkably concentrated with great aging potential. New wines from this region are darker, and more robust, with more dynamic primary fruit flavors than traditionally styled examples. These wines seem to reflect the influence of Spain's other key region for Tempranillo, Ribera del Duero. Regardless of style, Riojas tend to be medium bodied wines, with more acid than tannins. These wines generally feature Tempranillo blended with Garancha, Mazuelo, and Graciano. For these wines, there are three quality levels, which will appear on the label. Everyday drinking wines fall under the category of "Crianza", "Reserva" denotes more complex and concentrated wines, and "Gran Reserva" refers to the most intense wines, made only in the best years.
The same labeling scheme applies to wines from Ribera del Duero, which, like Rioja, is dominated by Tempranillo and shares similar blending grapes. Again, Ribera del Duero wines are generally darker and more powerful than the most traditional Riojas. These wines also generally see less oak treatment than Riojas. From Rioja, we like wines from Allende, Marqués de Cáceres, Montecillo, and Cune. In Ribera del Duero, consider Dominio de Pingus, Emilio Moro, Convento San Francisco, and Pesquera.
Pair older-style Rioja with simple meats like chicken, leg of lamb, and pork loin. However, the newer style of Rioja and Ribera del Duero works especially well with bolder meat dishes or an aged Spanish cheese like Manchego or Idiazabal.

Wine Map on weinlagen-info
Spain is the third largest wine producing nation in the world, occupying the majority of the Iberian Peninsula with vast diversity in climate, culture, and of course, wine. From inky, dark reds of the [Priorat] to dry, white Finos from Andalusia, Spain can easily boast of elaborating a wide variety of notable styles. Within Spain there are currently 62 demarcated wine regions, of which a handful have gained international recognition: [Rioja], Priorat and [Ribera del Duero]. Yet these regions are only a small sample of the high quality wines Spain produces. Regions such as Cava, Penedes, Somontano, Galicia, Rueda and Jerez are only a few of the numerous regions worthy of exploration throughout Spain. Spain can also lay claim to having the most land under vine in the world, growing up to, by some accounts, 600 indigenous varietals of which Tempranillo is their most well known. Other popular varietals include [Garnacha], Bobal and Monastrell for reds and for whites; the infamous [sic] Palomino Fino grape which is used in the production of sherry wine, Pedro Ximenez in Montilla Morilles, Albarino used in the creation of the bright, effervescent wines of Galicia, and Verdejo in Rueda. - Source: - Catavino.net
Spain is not in the forefront of winemaking for its dessert wines, other than for its sweet wines from Sherry country including the highly revered Olorosos (when sweetened). But apart from Sherry Spain has a range of styles of dessert wines, ranging from the those made from the Pedro Ximenez grape primarily in Jerez and Montilla-Moriles) to luscious, red dessert wines made in the Mediterranean from the Garnacha (Grenache) grape. Some good Moscatels are made in Mallorca, Alicante and Navarre. The northwest corner of Spain, Galicia, with its bitter Atlantic climate, is even making dessert wines, called “Tostadillos” in the village of Ribadivia (similar to France’s “Vin de Paille”). The Canary Islands have made interesting dessert wines for centuries (they are mentioned by Shakespeare, for example) and in recent years the quality of winemaking has been improved and the Canary Islands wines are being better marketed now. The winemaking styles for “Vinos Dulces” are also diverse, from “Late Harvest” (Vendimia Tardía) to “Fortified Wines” (Fermentación Parcial).
