Not bad. No issues and good price to boot. Tempranillo clearly evident.

Cherry, leather, earth with a tannic finish. I found this one while reorganizing my cellar and I was surprised at how youthful the wine remained.

What a different experience compared to the previous btl. Bought on auction as a pair. First btl had perfect fill and preformed not so well. This one was top shoulder. Cork broke halfway, but wasn't compromised.

Initial fumes were … oxidized, however, that blew off. The acidic structure made me feel like a kid again, in a candy store! You know, when every aroma tickles your slivation glands. Wow!

Insane amounts of sediment in this btl. Light and transparent brick-orange colurs. Nose is towards advanced in not only positive ways. In the mouth the oxidative aromas of the nose are simply … not … here. It ahows off fobacco, dried fruits, hay and a beautiful menthol quality that's amazing. This is a happy and deep reminder of why beef is such a fantastic dish. All meaty dishes were immediately married by this friend. A great friend of mine :-)

This was every step of the way, a Rioja GR that the previous btl was not. And it's fantastic that this shoulder filled juice was so much better than the previous, perfectly-filled btl… Goes against my understanding of wine… However, I'm always happy to accept my graces wherever they are to be found ;-)

Cork broke halfway and the remainder took the better part of half an hour to remove. Crikey! I hate non-screwcaps.

2nd btl of two, from a bargain auction buy.

A beautiful wine, fully integrated but with still-lively fruit and acidity. In a good place, and I doubt it will improve - so drink up!

Sur les fruits noirs, les bleuets, plutôt primaire, avec un peu d'épices et du bois qui masque légèrement les éléments. Assez corpulent et souple. Pas mauvais à se demander si le temps l'affinerais..!

Merely adequate wine, with no glaring flaws except flavor. Mass produced impostor of True Rioja. The Budweiser of Rioja.
Has typical vanilla Oak, and was OK-ishwith a Northern outdoor Minnesota meatloaf and I was trying not to think too hard . Nothing else much to say, nothing special about this at all except a quaffable red from Spain.

P.S. what am I even doing in northern Minnesota!? I didn’t expect to have any wine up here, so I’m thankful they had anything that didn’t come in a box or jug. Scoring this based mainly on it not being terrible, and it being available.

Almost perfect cork.
This btl was a bit tired and moving towards the fields of oxidation.
Me: Lovely, complex and exciting. 85p
Wife: Terribly undrinkable. 50p

One btl to go.

Really nice. Not your typical tempranillo. Nice fruit. Dark and complex. Lingering finish. Medium firm tannin. Smooth. Could go for several more years but probably at a peak right now if you still want that fruit.

Sans prise de note, un jolie vin du Rioja moderne, au fruit légèrement confit et avec un côté mentholé et légèrement épicé. C'est assez équilibré mais ça reste un brin rustique. Pour le prix on trouve mieux hélas, rien à voir avec ma bouteille de 2009 bu il y a quelques années...

Purple reddish color, med body, nose of forest floor and blue fruits. Fruit full and then moves into wonderful complex flavors of cocoa some hint of oak and then almost coaxing out the cedar is there for a very long finish. High QPR

I knew this winery from my time in Albacete, the simplest bottle, but this is supposed to be its "high range". Simple yet modernly balanced. Flavourful and untraditional with an excessive presence of French oak. Another example of what some like to call "high expression" and what I like to call "low definition of terroir" ...

Conocía a esta bodega por mi paso por Albacete, en concreto la botella más simple, pero esta se supone que es su "gama alta". Simple aunque modernamente equilibrado. Sápido y poco tradicional con una presencia excesiva del roble francés. Otro ejemplo de lo que algunos gustan denominar "alta expresión" y que a mi me gusta llamar "baja definicion de terruño" ...

Let me just start out with for a fifty year old Rioja this a delicious wine! It's age shows up immediately in the nose, color and first taste...in a good way. Still has some acid, tobacco and almost a Burgundian style. Maybe it'll get better with age but it's a wonderful wine now!

There is a Harry Potter pitch in here somewhere. Black fruit, just a touch roasted. Fuller and rounded mid palate. With some gumption.
