Bodegas Beronia
Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend
La Rioja, Spain
I still can't believe I found this for $30 earlier this year. What a steal! Compared to the 2006 Beronia Gran Reserva I had alongside it, the nose has a lighter quality that I call aloe Vera because it's the closest thing I could think of. The nose is airy and cool, with hints of sea air that transport you to the Spanish coast. The palate is even more complex, which just goes to show what more age can do for rioja. I actually taste MORE tannins in this than the 2006, which blows my mind and makes me more interested in the region. Just... just a fantastic wine from a very, very good winery. I'm in love.

To rich and extracted for me. Overpowered the smokey pork ribs for dinner.

This is a great Rioja. Although its style is a modern one, not quite like traditional Rioja which is usually austere,'it is much pleasant in the mouth.
