Normally don't like Rioja, but this was enjoyable and has aged nicely.

Nice acidity, mellow tannins.

88 points.

Nicely mature, well integrated oak and polished palate. Not the most complex, but equally not the most expensive.

Really very good. Persistent palate with restrained fruit nicely balanced with oak. Fresh. Exceptionally good value.

Very good 100% Tempranillo from Rioja, this shows best and comes out of its shell with a good 3 hours in the decanter. Mix of cedar, blackberry and spices on the nose. Very good balance in the mouth, medium body, acidity on point and a very decent finish, in a very good spot now.

2012 Urbina Rioja Crianza

Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo more

1/31/2024 - cjoetucker@aol.com Likes this wine: 91 points

Dark crimson color, with a lighter rim. Old world funk! Tobacco, currants, graphite, cedar, and a hint of mushroom on the nose. Tastes of blackberries, oak, cassis, currants and sour cherries. This is full bodied, with fine, grainy tannins, flowing smoothly across the palate to a nice, lengthy finish. A nice balance of fruit and acidity, this is sweet and savory. Great QPR. Well done!

Le nez est expressif sur la cerise krishé, le cuir, les champignons, le camphre. Belle attaque sur la cerise sûre. Toutefois, acidité relevé. Manque de corps et de longueur. Pas grand chose ici et rien ne sert d’attendre.

I have had several bottles and all have been excellent. Decanting preferred but not essential. Very well balanced wine, with freshness, oak and restrained fruit combining with long finish. Fabulous.

Similar notes to Petalito. Great find for under $30. Perfect example of what aged Rioja can do. Bangarang vibes for sure.

Decanted for an hour. Deep purple-brown color with high viscosity. Aromas of dried blue fruits, smoke, leather, tobacco, coffee, and cocoa. On the palate, herbal, vegetable, spices, and nut skins. Full body and bone-dry wine with well-integrated tannins and acidity. Great complexity and long finish. Well balance and delightful 23-year-old wine. We paired it with roasted pork leg which really brought the sweetness of the pork and the beauty of the wine. A gem at this price point!

Crianza Rioja at it's peak now, and showing some nice maturity.
Intense flavours of slightly over ripe dark fruits, orange zest, vanilla, blackberries, smoked meat, with a slight oxiditive nutty/caramel flavour on the medium length finish. Well integrated tannins.
Overall really enjoyable wine, offering fantastic value across the Urbina range.

Deep garnet.

Pronounced on the nose with red cherry, black cherry, raspberry, coconut, vanilla, smoke, chocolate, dried cranberry, fig, prune, tobacco, leather, meat and savoury notes. Fully developed.

Pronounced and dry on the palate. High acidity, high party resolved tannins, high alcohol, long finish.

Can drink now but has potential for aging.

Monitored wine every hour and it showed best after 1 hour full decant with no sediment. Very seductive nose. In the glass, white rimmed brick, Earthy with oak. mid-level acidity, perfectly balanced.

Thanks god Rioja wines exist. Otherwise how can you find 17 yrs old wines drinking well at a decent price, even in Australia.
Having been drinking young Australian wines for the past month, I was looking forward to try this one.
This is medium garnet in color.
Typical nose, with good intensity, leather saddle, baked fruits, nuts, balsamic.
In the mouth it is an Umami wine. Medium body, some tannic grip to introduce medium aged rioja flavours, baked fruits, nuts, balsamic vinegar, orange peel. good intensity and complexity of flavours.
Very good length of aged flavours.

This wi e is superb. It is elegant and absolutely in a prime drinking window for a Rioja. I prefer it over the 2004 gran reserva. Urbina is an outstanding producer with Rioja wines that are light yet full bodied, elegant and that age beautifully. And a good value to boot.

This pours medium garnet in the glass with light bricking. The nose is lifted, complex and nicely mature showing cuban cigar, graphite, gravel, ripe strawberry, toasted coconut, dill, rich cedar, dried cherry, shoe polish, nori, and a lovely topnote of grapefruit. The palate is silky and hugely appealing entering on the cherry fruit, turning to grapefruit on the mid-palate and finish. Acid is medium plus and tannin is medium minus, giving this freshness without an imposing structure. The finish is long built on grapefruit with a gravelly minerality. I absolutely loved this wine, almost considering a higher score. It's just massively appealing to drink right now. Appropriately priced at $55 CAD, even a bit of a value to be honest.
