En nariz tiene especias, sobre todo pimienta y frutos negros. En boca tiene personalidad. Suave pero suficientemente intenso, con muchos matices. Sedoso, tiene los taninos bien equilibrados.

Surprisingly fresh and fruit-forward for a 2009; even has some residual tannin apart from what has sedimented out. Very pleasant, if not remarkable wine.

Pleasant enough, and a reasonably good value at $20 CAD, but low typicity, i.e. anonymous / not recognizable as a Rioja.

Sweet butter, vanilla oak, berry fruit, and forest floor nose. The palate is quite ripe and slow to show the evolution one would expect from a 2014; finishes well with flavours echoing the nose.
4/5

2004 Puelles Rioja Gran Reserva

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

1/14/2023 - chatters wrote: NR

Spanish fun day one (N&J's place, Canberra): From Coravin. Biscuit, a little toast, dark hued fruits, slight raisins, touch of meatiness, slight cedar, coconut, feels a little closed and reticent on the nose though. Fresh, sweetly fruit, again the In the black spectrum; blackberry, plenty of alcohol warmth and sweet spice in support, tannins are quite biscuit flavours, drying, the mid palate but quite smooth, fruit persists joined by a little coconut and cedar. Hmm.

Value Gran Reserva that's always worth a try. 2h air, probably not strictly necessary. Medium garnet color. Shyly gives up aromas of cherry, tar, parmesan cheese, well-worn oak and strong notes of black pepper. Silky texture, medium-bodied, with zesty cherry on the palate and hints of licorice through the lingering finish. Round, polished tannins add just enough support. Probably not a huge amount of long-term cellaring potential, but it's already 14 years old and enjoyable so why not drink it now.

Lots of green apple, something a little more sweet on the nose as well. Tastes similar with nice acidity, with a surprisingly round body but short finish and very little complexity. All in all a fine cheap white.

My first btl of this in 5 years. Still singing and a spot-on extremely well made Rioja. Classic tempranillo profile. A bit hot in middle which gives the impression this is in decline. Would certainly look for this in an updated vintage.

2010 Puelles Rioja Zenus

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

11/1/2020 - Harley1199 Likes this wine: NR

A quality Rioja wine. Long, wide and fresh. A bit modern but in a fair point. It is heavy but fresh offering balance although I would like more conjunction. To be polished.

Un vino de rioja de calidad. Largo, amplio y fresco. Un poco moderno pero en un punto aceptable. Es pesado pero fresco ofreciendo equilibrio aunque me gustaría más conjunción. Falta pulirlo.

Again, nothing particularly wrong — but rather monochromatic, without personality or depth. Consistent results over three nights.

Salty game, subtle flowers on the nose. Melded dry tannic fruit on the palate with a crisp acid frame. [From Rioja tasting.]

5/8/2020 - codysak Likes this wine: 88 points

pale lemon; slight oily viscosity
medium intensity of aroma of flowers of jasmine and honeysuckle. Fruits of ripe lemon, tangerine, nectarine. No evidence of oak.
palate is medium+ intensity, medium + acid, dry, medium- alcohol, medium- body. Flavors fruit is more slightly underripe and pithy flavors mainly due to the elevated acid and lighter body. Finish is medium+
It's a very nice wine or very good quality. It lacks complexity of aromas and flavors, but I believe it's meant to be "simple" in a good way.
I like the slight oiliness which give the impression of a greater body, but a light fresh wine.

93 is a bit optimistic for this wine, but must match a subjective preference of TL which is wonderful to find stylistic preferences at such a nice price point.

I too enjoy the wine, but technically it's not a 93 point wine

2007 Puelles Rioja Gran Reserva

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

11/30/2019 - daveyk39 wrote: 88 points

Typically a solid, dependable QPR Rioja. This vintage is 95% tempranillo, and aged 24 months in 50% French oak and 50% American oak.

1h air. Medium Ruby/Garnet color. Aromas of cherry, chocolate, oak, and thai basil. Red and black fruit on the palate, with accents of earth and anise. Structured tannins through the lengthy finish.

Not the best vintage from this producer, but at the price a solid weekday wine.

Nice orange tint at the edges. Sour cherry, wax, church insence in the smell. Taste is still much fresher than expected from the smell, with some bold fruitiness.

Last bottle. Medium Ruby. Cherry, chocolate, cedar, rose petals, cured meat, dill. Medium-full bodied, cherry and vanilla on entry, earth in the mid-palate and licorice in the finish. Balanced and deep.
