Man I think I paid 9 dollars for this what a phenomenal value. Big citrus and very drinkable. Pairs well with true crime and spicy Asian food :) — 6 months ago

Very good Gruner coming in with strong mineral aromas with citrus, pear, and grass notes. Lacks complexity of some of the higher end Gruners, but far more interesting than standard ones. — 6 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing black currants, plums, sour cherries, light oak, spices, peppercorn, dark coffee, tobacco leaf, earth, wet leaves and herbs.

Short finish with round tannins and tangy pomegranates.

This 13 year old is showing nice complexity now. Tasty and a good food wine.

Will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years.

This 2010 vintage was probably the best vintage in Rioja in the last 20 years. So nice to try these kind of wines.

Robert Parker 94 points.

Needs a couple of hours to open up properly, so be patient.

I paired it with a charcuterie board of meats and cheeses.

A blend of 80% Tempranillo and 15% Garnacha with Graciano and Mazuelo. Aged for 5 years in used American oak barrels.

13.5% alcohol by volume.

Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.

Wonderful nose with plenty of fruits, earth notes and chocolates.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with great complexity.

Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light vanilla, earth, spices, leather, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and licorice.

Medium in length on the finish, with no tannins at all.

This 45 year old is delicious now. Might not be at its peak anymore, but it is still gorgeous.

Still showing lots of fruits with great complexity and a soft mouth feel. Elegant and fruit forward. Really nice.

I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always nice to drink this kind of wines.

Thank you John for sharing this with me.

Didn't last too long, and started declining after 45 minutes of airtime.

Paired beautifully with a nice piece of fillet.

13% alcohol by volume.

Wasn’t a fan - blocky and lacking finesse. Very concentrated and almost un-pinot-esque in my eyes. Prominent tannins too. Probably needs time. — 6 months ago

Backward mountain fruit, but not as tannic as I’d expected, though this should easily last another 25 years, old school Cal Cabernet (13% ABV) that I long for!! — a year ago
