Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2008

Shockingly fresh, focused and loads of structure. Maybe Tempranillo isn’t so bad. 😊 — 8 days ago

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Always a banger but lost to a 2016 reserva in a blind taste. Probably because this vintage scored 90, while that one was a 94. Doesn’t make this any less of a super star though. Great wine, great house. — a month ago
