Thought this was a really unique Rioja. Deep Rick ruby with a smokey burnt caramel aroma. On the bud, stewed dark cherries, pepper, and pomegranate that is smooth and a long finish. Nice tannins in the mouth. Great price for a gran reserva from a famous Rioja winery.

A bit faded glory (1978) but still quite fresh and bright enjoyable but went back to Soldaat...

Nice bright, delineated nose of leather, barrel toast and black fruits.
The wine displays a glossy structure on the palette. Black fruits with red licorice. Lovely presence on the mid-palette with a nice balance of tannin, acid and alcohol. Quite approachable now, but would benefit from several more years in the bottle.

Tempranillo 90%, Graciano 10%. Time rounds some roughness, but still it's hard to find a connection with the fermenting juice we tasted few minutes ago. #DWCC #Rioja

Whole Foods baby. Nice blend with jammy, smooth texture with tobacco and vanilla highlights. Brand is reputed to be a Winston Churchill favorite. Great with manchego and spicy nduja.
