Fuerte y con mucho cuerpo y dulzón a la vez 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 — 4 days ago
2017 vintage. Extremely difficult to get past the coconut/pickles nose with the aggressive oak. Flavors better than scents currently. Could use an hour or two in a decanter or 7-8 years in the bottle to minimize said oak. Medium body. Will eventually lead the group on an epic hike but not in the next few years. 03.05.25. — 9 days ago
2020 vintage from Costco. Very enjoyable! — 5 days ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2016 Reserva pours a deep ruby/purple with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart red and black fruits: black cherry, tobacco, cocoa, dill, vanilla and associated warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. This is a textbook, modern leaning and clean version of Rioja Reserva. Drink now through 2046. — 25 days ago

As the wine guy said — dried fig and dusty tannins. Good stuff, good value. 90.
EDIT: Zounds, James Suckling was right on this one — or at least his ”associate editor” was! — 13 days ago
