Anciano Gran Reserva Tempranillo

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva 890 Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

2001 vintage. Opened not decanted. Medium body. Lean throughout except for (still) substantial oak presence like a drone posse. Pretty. Maybe another decade diminishes the oak? It must have been overwhelming upon release. 10.2.26. — 7 days ago

45+ minute decant. Red color with some brightness. Stewed fruit and rhubarb dominate the nose. Juicy wine on the palate but fairly reserved. Medium minus depth and finish. Needed something to pair with Italian Sausages and this was fine. — a month ago

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005

This is the best bottle of wine I’ve had from my cellar in years. Nearly perfect. Bought it in 2008 for $30 and one of my great finds. Good lord it was just divine. I’m sure there have been better vintages but I can’t imagine it. — 5 months ago

Kurt rec. this was great. Would get again. Even though it’s a heftier price for Kurt it’s worth it compared to others we’d pay more for. — 8 months ago

Marqués de Murrieta

Castillo Ygay Gran Reserva Especial Rioja Tempranillo Blend 1964

💯 for the privilige and the scarcity. Incomparable nose of chocolate figs, dates and raisins. Port/sherry notes! On the palate this is very lively, yet quite acidic.
To me, this is more intriguing and interesting than tasty…

Excellent with just a bit of breathing, a good deal at $24 which I do not expect to see any time again soon. A good dinner wine, drunk on January 19, 2026.  — 9 months ago

Nice rioja. Warmer than I like but it’s hot this summer. Smooth. Floral notes. Easy to drink. Low tannins. Great taste. Highly recommend. Didn’t even loose my taste for drinking after looking at my wife’s cut open finger from the knives i just sharpened. Dry, doesn’t make your mouth pucker. Gets better the more you drink. 9.2. 33$ great value.
