2001 Faustino Rioja I Gran Reserva Tempranillo Blend, Tempranillo

8/1/2015 - Fat Lips Likes this wine:

90 points

Earthy and traditional in style, this Rioja is well made and beautifully balanced. The nose is a bit tight showing blackberry, mushroom, and forest floor. The palate offers dry fruits, raisin, prune, plum, and mushroom, and a hint of clove. The acidity is refreshing, the tannins are soft but firm, and the finish leaves some licorice behind. Excellent overall and ready to be enjoyed.

8/7/15, 6:55 PM - Moonmountain, two things are for sure, 1- there are always differences of opinion, 2- you did not drink the bottle I drank. And BTW this is what Wine Enthusiast has to say about this wine: "Rusty and mature looking, this is woodsy, dry and rooty on the nose, with whiffs of tree bark and tobacco running alongside cherry and berry notes. It’s mature, with flavors of stewed plum, herbs and spice that are straight from the textbook, while the finish is dry, earthy and showing core acidity. Drink now."
