This is a dark wine,black cherry red but almost opaque. Black fruit abounds on the nose, joined by notes of anise, mocha, cinnamon and clove. The palate is jammy, with spices and herbs making themselves clearly known. A savory aftertaste lingers on the long finish and the tannins are a bit toothy upon opening, so be sure to decant before serving.

Drank 2/2/21.
Excellent with seared pork chops and a pan sauce.
Nose of sawn lumber, dill, spice, and red cherry. Flavors of red cherry, leather, and pomegranate are backed by medium tannins. Finishes medium with juicy red fruit. Very nice.
4/21/8/4/3 +50 =90 pts.

This very dark wine has such a rich nose it’s almost enough just to smell it. Almost. Aromas of black currant and blueberries are colored up nicely by all the oak. Clove notes are sweet and - incredibly - not overpowering. The palate is brawny and full of dark fruit. It’s loaded with minerals and acidity and firm tannins - just waiting for an unsuspecting ribeye to come along.

Found this bottle in a pile of forgotten wines. Despite the age still cherries and chocolate. Very little aging tones. But was probably better before.

Rich, dark, and deeply oaked—modern style—black plum, some fig, sweet tobacco, vanilla, coconut cream, American oak. If you like big rioja, you’ll appreciate this.

Feb 26th, 2020The Beronia Rioja Reserva is a dark garnet in the glass, with a nose of black cherries and plums, abetted by leather, vanilla and a nice oak spice. The palate is rustic and savory, age showing already. Black fruit tangles with tobacco and earth notes. There’s a good tannic structure and a lengthy, savory finish. Pair it with pork, sausages and Manchego cheese.
