Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2008

Shockingly fresh, focused and loads of structure. Maybe Tempranillo isn’t so bad. 😊 — 4 days ago

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

A bit too thin. Might need a bit more time. Fruit was a bit immature. Length was ok — 14 days ago

Nice juice here but I think you are spot-on with maybe a '27 start

Bodegas y Viñedos Vega Sicilia

Pintia Toro Tempranillo 2017

Poured into a decanter 30min prior to service and enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2017 pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium+ viscosity with significant staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart black and red fruit: mixed brambles, plum, black cherry pie with slightly burnt crust, cocoa, dried herbs and baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is plush. The 15% is remarkably well hidden. This is one of those wines for me where I go, “How’d they do that?” But then I shouldn’t be all that surprised, this is Vega Sicilia we’re talking about. Drink now with at least a 30min decant and through 2032-ish? — 20 days ago

Viña Tondonia Rioja Rosé Blend 2008

Medium copper salmon colour . Slightly waxy dried orange , spiced wild strawberry , touch of resin , sea salt . On the palate this has more fruit , with touches of orange , spiced dried strawberry , roasted nuts, saline seaside hints , balanced acidity and elegant , refined personality. Intense and long , this is probably showing better and more complete than the 2011 I had a few weeks ago . Just starting to get going , but still with a long life ahead. From now and over the next 5 to 10 years perhaps . — 20 days ago

Dominio de Pingus

PSI Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2022

A nice wine!! A blend of mostly Tinta del País/Tempranillo (from old vineyards), with a splash of Garnacha and other grapes, including whites. Medium Ruby with aromas of ripe fresh fruits, herb and complex spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry with vanilla oak and cacao. Good balance, fine elegant tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit and earthy character. Very nice! — 25 days ago

Viña Bosconia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Fantastic Reserva. Lil bit of maturity funk on the nose, Elevated acidity, plays very well with food, paired with beef empanadas. Woody tannin notes. What really stands out is the note of orange oil, exciting and tasty, and what secured my purchase.. drink now — 18 days ago
