Nice dry with minimal ‘cab’ bite…smooth and round — 9 months ago
Lemon yellow color, with stone, citrus and tropical fruit aromas and herb floral scents. On the palate flavors of crisp apples, grapefruit and pineapple with lemon citrus and chalky notes. Well balanced with pleasant lively acidity, medium+ finish ending with mineral, citrus, floral and wet stone nuances. Nice! — 2 years ago
Amazingly good at the price point! Hits all the right rioja notes, tasting like wines costing $10-15 more — 6 years ago
Dark purple in color. Smooth, not too complex. Easy to drink. Fair amount of sediment. Especially for a bottle less than ten years old. Cune, was founded in 1879 and is one of Spain's oldest and finest bodegas. Gran Reservas are very uncommon and account for a small percentage of the wine produced in the Rioja region. — 9 years ago
Bought with a discount at about 13 USD in equivalent Polish Złoty. It's a steal! The nose is very inviting with blackberry, black cherry, bacon, soy sauce, oak, a bit of tobacco too. What a nose ! The palate is very well made, with a great acid drive, some width, some matter, some nice blackberry and black cherry notes, some oily, a tiny bit thicker mouthfeel, some gentle, slightly drying tannins kick off in the rear, delivering a sandy layer over a very long, fruity, meaty, savoury finish that goes on for a very long while. This punches way above its price tag. Great stuff and even better than the 2020 I had some months ago. — 6 months ago
Straw gold color with slight green highlights. Aromas of unripe stone fruit, white flowers and a beautiful note of sea spray. Flavors of peach and citrus fruit with distinctive mineral and slate notes. Nice touch of saline on the long and crisp finish. Beautiful mouth coating texture. Elegant, fresh tasting and beautifully balanced. Outstanding QPR! — 10 months ago
Blend of 60% Grenache, 30% Tempranillo & 10% Graciano, aged for 6 months in used oak, for this debut offering, deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, floral and spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and red plum with licorice and floral spice. Medium+ finish, fine tannins, good acidity balance, ending with fruit and mineral character. — 5 years ago
Aromas of baked apples, apricots, nutty and waxy. On the pallet it’s crispy and refreshing with taste of green apples, creamy with a mid to full body mouth feel. — 7 years ago

Excellent flavor: leather, subtle blood and warm spices. Lighter viscosity but no loss of flavor. Very mild and complimentary tannins — 9 years ago
Cune imperial reserve 2019.
Tasty red. Reminds me of when we were there. Complex but nice. Opened up for new years. Enjoyed a nice glass prior to falling asleep waiting for the ball to drop. Dark ruby red. Little tannins. Nose was floral. Really easy to drink. Had it second day which was great. Happy new years with a flight of tacos (9/10). 40-50$. Would absolutely recommend this wine. So smooth. So silky. Like a nye dress. It s a 10-9… — 9 months ago
At La Bogeda restaurant at Porto de La Duquesa in Costa del Sol Spain. This was supposed to be a Cune wine but the bottle didn’t say so. $18 on the restaurant wine list. Ok but would try other offerings before revisiting this one. — 4 years ago
Haven’t had this vintage in 5 years., and the extra 5 years of aging makes a difference.
I also had the 1994 exactly a year ago, and it’s even better than that.
Great value considering how aged it is. Smooth. Berry bonanza.
I play a game with my wife where she picks a bottle from my cabinet while I grill a steak (in this case, a 1.25kg dry aged porterhouse) and I blind taste the wine and tell her what it is. We made a bet that if I got the correct bottle (out of over 50) that she had to go and spend $150 on a bottle. If I got it wrong, I couldn’t shop at the LCBO for two weeks (that’s like a year for anyone else).
I guessed old world. Spanish. Approx 10 years old... but thought it was a 2010 Cune Gran Reserva.
