2001 Bodegas Sierra Cantabria Rioja Finca El Bosque

Tempranillo more

4/16/2024 - Benoit Hardy Likes this wine: 93 points

At first, the nose was very vanilla, the wood coming through outrageously. After 4 hours of aeration, the whole appears to be more serene, on the leather, a more diffused and above all more integrated woody touch, tobacco and a bright black fruit.

The mouth is curiously thinner and slender than the nose. Make no mistake, the 14.5% alcohol is there but it is much finer and more elegant than the nose which remains on a warm register. The juice is silky, dense, with an attack of leather and tobacco, settling into a second half of the palate with intense black fruit. Good balance with an acidity which constantly tightens and revives the wine, giving a good sapid sensation. Good finish where cedar and vanilla dominate, always being coherent with the whole. Good vanilla length.

Very good Rioja from the little experience I have with this appellation. The ratings are very complimentary, I am a little more nuanced but it remains a well-made wine.

Würzige Nase, Eukalyptus, Estragon, etwas Liebstöckel, Nussbutter, Haselnuss, Nougat. Im Mund etwas öliger Eindruck, warm, dann schöne SÄure, tolle Pikanz. Voller Körper. Weißes, saftiges Steinobst. Wärme, etwas Alkohol, mit der Frische aber harmonisch bleibend.

By the glass. Blend of 45% Viura, 30% Malvasia and 25% Garnacha blanca.
12.5% ABV. Grapes from the Rioja Alta sub-area aged in barrels for about eleven months in contact with their lees. Wine quite mineral both on the nose and in the mouth. It also provides exotic aromas and spices (white pepper and ginger), Lapsang tea essence or limestone mineral. The palate is soft, with an abundant silky texture and a disputed acidity. Again a mineral finish. Elusive aftertaste.

Por copas. Ensamblaje de un 45% de Viura, 30% Malvasía y un 25% Garnacha blanca.
12.5% de volumen alcohólico. Uvas procedentes de la subzona de la Rioja Alta.
Envejecen en barrica unos once meses en contacto con sus lías. Vino bastante mineral tanto en nariz como en boca. Además proporciona aromas exóticos y especias (pimienta blanca y jengibre), esencia de té lapsang o mineral calizo. Al paladar se muestra suave, de una abundante textura sedosa y una discutida acidez. De nuevo un final mineral. Esquivo regusto.

Cork split into two pieces so it was necessary to decant. Dark cardinal colour with violet watery edges. Aromas of black berries, burnt caramel, liquorice, anthracite, black olives, dark chocolate and roasted coffee. Monolithic and one-dimensional. Totally modern character.
The palate retains its high acidity which provides freshness to also its gastronomic profile. Little permanence and astringent finish. Impossible to recognize as an authentic Rioja cosecha, but on the contrary reminds a very acidic RdD which is also a contradiction.

Corcho partido en dos piezas por lo que fue necesario decantar. Oscuro color cardenalicio con violáceos bordes acuosos. Aromas a bayas negras, caramelo quemado, regaliz, antracita, olivas negras, chocolate negro y café tostado. Monolítico y unidimensional. Totalmente de carácter moderno. Al paladar conserva su alta acidez lo que proporciona frescura a su perfil gastronómico. Escasa permanencia y final astringente. Imposible de reconocer como un auténtico Rioja cosecha, más al contrario recuerda a un RdD muy ácido lo cual también es un contrasentido.

Cigar, smoke, forest and dark berries in the bouquet. On the palate very juicy with a lot of sweetness, a lot of beautifully fresh acidity as well and round tannin. Fantastic wine! Still a baby, but so beautiful. Wait another 2 – 5 years of give a long decant. Fantastic wine. 95 – 96+

Stunner. The quality of the fruit is beautiful. Liquorice and dark cherries in abundance. So much time left, although cork was close to be breached.

Wine Cellar Spain (Wine Cellar): Medium yellow; the nose is intense with lemon, hay, warm spices and a pronounced presence of aniseed and liquorice. A wood resin/quinine element particular to White Rioja is also present.
The palate reflects the nose with a crisp, clean entry. It offers an apple skin and sultana texture, some bitter almond and lime and that barrel-fermented character of smoky, lees and Madagascan vanilla pod. There are similarities to Sauvignon Blanc and Verdejo, more than, say, Chardonnay, as overall, the wine is relatively simple, particularly on the back palate. It also lacks a bit of depth and complexity. 54 Viura; 27 Malvasia; 19 Garnacha blanca. Fermented in new oak and aged six months in oak.

A modern Rioja, smooth, toasted (a wee bit) smokey, spicey, somewhat sweet. Very sexy, charming and open, could gain a little more complexity with age, but there is nothing wrong with this and a good piece of lamb.

Wine Cellar - Rioja and Fontanafredda (Wine Cellar, Cape Town): (Tasted Blind): A deep garnet colour towards an orange rim suggests some development. The nose is intriguing with a distinct coconut and toast quality, reminiscent of a new (empty) barrel - the background show black cherry and plum.
Full-bodied, the entry is very ripe with more dried cherries running towards raisin, Christmas cake borderline, overripe bananas, and spicecake. The alcohol is high, and the wine has a thickness to the core. Long-ish finish with grippy, dense tannins and more than a sprinkle of spice on the close.

Wine Cellar - Rioja and Fontanafredda (Wine Cellar, Cape Town): (Tasted Blind): Dried banana and plum greet the nose, dusted with cinnamon and nutmeg. Intense. Soft and fruity on entry the mid-palate is juicy with supple tannins and a long finish. Super soft and velvety as the wine opens.

Vivid purple and red 75% obscured. Nose of baked blackberry pie, warm spice and leather. Palate is full with flavor and powdery tannins, medium + weight with medium + /higher acid, blackberry and raspberry fruit, with touches of oxidative champagne apple, with more leather and some tart malactic in finish. Long-lasting, Im pleased with where the wine is today. 4 more bottles I’ll plan to drink over next 5 years.
