Tasted Thursday, October 16, 2014 by Zweder with 263 views
Every participant had to bring a wine of the theme. We did not know which wines were brought by the others. All wines were tasted blind, also without knowing when the wine you brought was poured.
2010 Palacios Remondo Rioja Propiedad 87 Points
Spain, La Rioja, Rioja
Don’t know about other vintages, but this is a 100% Garnacha. Transparent red. Red berry fruits, spices and vanilla in the bouquet. On the palate juicy red berry fruits and cherries, firm acidity. Round tannin. Still very youthful. Good juice, but in this stage lacking complexity. I wonder how this will taste like in 2018. For tonight 86 - 87

2005 Bodegas Baigorri Rioja de Garage 91 Points
Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alavesa, Rioja
Expressive bouquet with a touch of pleasant barnyard, vanilla and other sweet spices and some toast. On the palate red and dark forest fruits, some chocolate, vanilla again, good acidity and round tannin with still a good bite. Beautiful and modern made wine. Ready now and the next 4+? years.

2004 Baron de Ley Rioja Gran Reserva Vina Imas 86 Points
Spain, La Rioja, Rioja
See also my note from 6/1/2013. Today’s note was a blind note only knowing it was Rioja and it was almost the same. No change at all. For a gran reserva a disappointing wine.
