Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

2011. Haven’t had the Bosconia before and liked it very much. Barrel aromas and flavors seem more forward here than in other Lopez de Heredia wines I’ve had. — 7 days ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

This is what I think of when I think of Rioja. Dried cherry and cranberry is what I get right away, and then it has more savory/earthy notes like leather and mushroom. When I tasted it I said “it tastes old.” That is a compliment. Hints of vanilla and spice. Felt elegant with a long finish. Had it with fatty new york strips. Tannins and acidity balanced it well. Not a loud wine, but a great one. — 9 days ago

Brut Rosé Champagne 2008

Gorgeous. Great fruit and minerals. Stone and a hint of dried strawberry with a floral edge. Still quite compact and intense. Decades ahead — 22 days ago

La Rioja Alta

Reserva Viña Ardanza Rioja Tempranillo Garnacha 2019

This full bodied reserva wine offers big aromas of cherry, black licorice and black pepper. It was tight upon opening but I let it breathe in the glass for an hour which allowed vanilla aromas to come through as well. It offers silky tannins that keep the structure and mellow out on the persistent finish. This wine has flavors of ripe cherry, black pepper and leather. This is a beautiful and complex wine that I think will be even better in a few years. — a month ago

Bodegas Muga

Gran Reserva Prado Enea Rioja Tempranillo 2006

Smells amazing. I get some coffee/chocolatey notes. Another great Rioja. Was very smooth, but still had structured tannins. I taste dried red fruits like the other one, but this had more acidity/brightness. Beautifully complex with great depth. Some warmth from vanilla and spice notes from it being so old. Had with the other Rioja I reviewed with a steak dinner. Great comparison drinking them side by side. Can taste the age, but not as much as the other. Think I slightly prefer the former. This is still amazing and I would highly recommend. — 8 days ago
