Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Blend of mostly Tempranillo with about equal amounts of Garnacho, Graciano and Manzuelo, deep Ruby with a graceful bouquet of berry fruits, cigar box spice with fresh earthy tones, a traditional Rioja, still reticent. On the silky smooth palate, elegant with layers of flavors of ripe blackberry and cherry, tobacco, smoky cedar, dark fruit, vanilla spice, very well balanced with fine soft tannins and a clean structure ending with a nice long chalky earthy character. Delicious! Still has room to age. — 19 days ago

Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

2024/1/3 with garbure. Bright, limpid strawberry but with some lactic creaminess - make sense as the crianza sibling of Tondonia — 2 months ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 2005

9.5

A wine of astounding complexity, a shape-shifter. Immediately in the glass, nutty roasted almond, funk (a little reductive), musty books and turpentine. Iron/sanguinous aftertaste. Little acidity up front, a bit flat in texture. Peach pit, yellow peach, honeycomb. — 20 hours ago

Viña Bosconia Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Ordinarily Lopez gets high marks. Rightly so. And while this had deep red and black fruit and cedar notes, the oak and tannin was just over the top. — 16 days ago

Viña Cubillo Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2013

Old leather-bound books, medium-light body with tart red fruits (the fancy maraschino cherries that are dark red) and tannins that are soft from aging but still very present.
