Casas del Bosque

Gran Reserva Maipo Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Clear, medium ruby in color with a garnet rim; on the nose it's clean with medium intensity primary and secondary aromas of green peppercorns, graphite, and black cherries; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, full body, high alcohol, and pronounced intensity primary and secondary flavors of blackberries, dried figs, and black currants with a medium finish. This wine is complex and intense. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. It improves with time in the glass. — 5 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, I’ve had multiple vintages of this wine (1970, 1971, 1973, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1981 and 1982) — much to wife’s chagrin, I have not been able to locate what I believe to be 1 or 2 last bottles of this 1978 — I always LOVED the Torres Black Label, but never see them in the marketplace any longer, which is sad!! Bully for you having this gem!!

Viña Real (CVNE)

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2017

Medium deep ruby with quite a thin lightly garnet rim. Spiced dark cherry , with some sweet blackberry , raspberry , vanilla , cocoa , earthy leather and grafite . Quite young , dense and compacted on the nose. On the palate this quite intense with quite high acidity , slightly strict with lightly gritty tannins , cherry , blackberry , spiced raspberry , some touches of grafite , dried spices and leather . This is quite young , needs a little more time but is promising with good density , freshness and balance . Come back in 3-4 years and will drink well over the next 10-15 — 2 months ago

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.  — 5 months ago

@Peter van den Besselaar, the label says 1987, your note says 1986, and Delectable says it’s 2000 — hmmm, Who’s on First?

@Doug Powers Thx. The label! I don’t know why Delectable describes 2000, tried to change the identified wine but that does not work.

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. — 2 months ago

La Rioja Alta

Gran Reserva Viña Arana Rioja Tempranillo

First timer I think on this. Obvious fan of the house. This was amazing. Perfect age. Blew through it without taking detailed notes. Definite tertiary notes at nearly a decade.
