Bodegas Olarra
Reserva Olarra Classico Rioja Tempranillo
Drank 7/27/23
Scents of earth, cherry, wood. Sour red cherry, black cherry, and soil flavors. Firm, but well integrated tannins and black fruit flavors dominate the long finish. It's a bit rustic, but I dig it. Fans of fruit bombs probably won't enjoy this.
3/21/7/4/4 + 50 = 89 pts.

Jul 9th, 2024Medium ruby color with a slight brick rim. Aromas of cherry, cola, and leathery oak. Red berry fruit fills the palate along with hints of tobacco, balsamic vinegar and spices. Very savory and herbal finish. Chewy tannins. Powerful, quite well balanced and easy to drink. Consistently good producer. Thanks for sharing, Keith S.

May 26th, 2024Really good value Rioja. Fantastic Aromas of tar, leather, wet rocks and dark cherries. Dried dark cherry, plum, tobacco and earthy flavors with a touch of vanilla. A long finish with chewy tannins. Give it some time to open up.
