THIS IS NOT TEMPRANILLO. This is #mazuela #mazuelo from a #singlevineyard. One of the best #carignane ever. Tart. Red fruit. #riojabaja #riojaoriental #rioja — 3 years ago
Blend of Garnacha and Mazuela (Carignan). Dark ruby color. Fresh dark berries and plums on the nose. Pallet is more red fruit based (raspberry, red plum and red currents). Note of beef jerky and iodine on the long and consistent finish. Quite juicy and bright but the rustic minerality balances this wine nicely. — 3 years ago
Wonderful depth— needs 30-40 mins of air to open and integrate. Then beautiful balance and huge drive. Wish could get more! — 5 years ago
Really nice. On first few sips it reminded me of a spicy, more tannic Beaujolais, but with air developed much more tobacco, cedar box, some dust, dried cherries, and a big bunch of herbs. Need to drink more of this. — 6 years ago
A new Rioja for me I grabbed in Spain from @gabymeetswine @vilaviniteca @ €105 & whilst nice I think it’s overpriced as you get just as good quality in many £40-£50 Rioja but that said it’s nice 😉 & quite unusually earthy & mineral laden 😁 leave 5 years 👍

🍇 Mazuela, Graciano & Tempranillo
🍷 Deep dark ruby
👃 Soggy earth, gravel, minerals & pencil lead through muted dark cherry w/ a light smokey soaked oak tone, red currant, balsamic & herbs then the oak really pushed through on steroids after a couple of hours
👄 Med body of red & dark cherry in balsamic w/ cocoa & minerals galore w/ a touch of blackberry
🎯 Med+ dry tannic red & dark cherry/berry cocoa mineral earthy linger w/ an okay follow through

Excellent rioja tasting sublime now with years more. Dusty, dried flowers, cherries, some herbs, excellent tannins. Want more! — 6 years ago
Garnet hue with medium-high saturation. Aromas and flavors of blackberry, cherry, leather, licorice, oak, tar, toast, and vanilla. Medium body; heavy, firm tannins; and high acidity. Robust on the nose; while bold and smooth on the palate with a long-lasting finish. Made of 95% Tempranillo and 5% Mazuela (Carignan). — 6 years ago
Cherry reduction and sautéed mushrooms over a fatty steak grilled on a wood plank. Big body but not too tannic and oh so drinkable. I can’t stop sniffing this wine. — 8 years ago

Blend of Garnacha (55%), Syrah (39%) and Mazuelo (6%). Dark ruby color with garnet highlights. Aromas of wet soil, coffee, violets and ripe red fruit. Flavors of strawberry, raspberry and red cherry fruit, dark chocolate, minerals and baking spices. Bit of vanilla on the long and pleasant finish. Soft/tight tannins and vibrant (a bit overbearing) acidity that causes the mouth to salivate. Medium-plus body and structure. Needs aeration. — 5 months ago
