This seven-year-old Rioja is showing black plums and leather on the nose, with equally dark and savory flavors on the palate. The tannins are no longer youthfully toothy, but still have enough bite to handle a ribeye steak. A real enjoyment which will also pair well with fall and winter stews.

Smooth Rioja and elegant. Just such a great value and underrated. Everything you want in a Rioja but for less. A great value.

Very velvety, fruit forward rioja. Plummy fruits and maybe the slightest touch of tobacco. Definitely would buy again.

One of the better reservas I’ve had recently. Big but not overdone, the ripe cherry, pepper, and vanilla notes are prominent but harmonious. Well-rounded.
