Red
2014 La Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri Rioja Reserva
91 points
Drank this next to the Lanzaga from Telmo. I like this much more, maybe because this is how I expect Rioja to be? Lovely wood interwoven with black fruit (black currant, black berries) and laurel. Medium+ acidity, long finish
White
2018 La Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri Rioja Blanco
91 points
Felt a bit closed at this stage, despite the double decanting. Spices, soft lemon and lime, pear. Medium+ acidity, long finish. As I’m curious to see how it ages I bought a 2009 double magnum, let’s see!

Red
2017 Bodegas Lanzaga (Telmo Rodriguez) Rioja Las Beatas
93 points
From a 1.9 ha vineyard in Alavesa with very low yields (6,5 hl/ha). Very, very young, despite a 10 hour decant. Already very balanced, so much potential here! Black olives, black berries, barnyard. Medium+ tannins and a long and lingering finish. 93/94+
White
2015 Dr. Loosen Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Telmo Rodriguez & Ernst Loosen
90 points
4 weeks of skin contact and then 2 years aging on old barrels from Telmo’s red wine. Interesting, but not how I like my riesling. Full, almost a bit creamy. Almost like a cider with mainly apple and bruised apple notes
