Bodegas Montecillo
Crianza Rioja Tempranillo


Nice oaky nose, with almost a little meat, bread and cheese action going on. Those are probably technically "off" flavors, but screw it; I kinda like em. After all, what goes better with an inexpensive Rioja Tempranillo than a meat and cheese sandwich?

A rich berry start but a bit of a flat finish. Has good potential but falls flat. No real spice or fullness. Not bad, but not the best Tempranillo.

$15 bottle on sale for $12, that's 6 years old. Only in Spain. Find me a better $12 bottle... is it good? Well, it's good enough.

Some very nice oak and currant on the nose. Dark fruit, vanilla and a bit of spicy tannin on the tongue. A lovely super-drinkable Rioja. And Riojas are my jam anyway.

Smells good. Tar and jam. Tastes of black cherries. Bright.
