Gran Reserva Ramirez de la Piscina Rioja

Ramírez de la Piscina traces its lineage back to the Navarra Kings who fought in the 1st Crusade during the 11th century. Aged for 24 months in Am & French oak, cellared for 36 months before release, grapes from its vineyards in Abalos. Rich bright red, ripe berry fruit aromas and smoky spices. On the palate fresh ripe cherry and blackberry flavors with fine silky tannins, leather, well balanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with some oak, earthy and mineral tones. Drinks well, great value for a Gran Reserva.

Sadly way past its prime, no mas fruit whatsoever :(

Kurt wine we repeated and would get again. Solid and nice earthy choice. Very drinkable. A bit more expensive than usual from him but worth it.

Masculine, with leather, cigar box, dark fruit, oak and a hint of blue cheese.

묵직함과 가벼움의 사이가 아니다. 묵직함 위에 출렁 출렁 가벼움이 밀려왔다 사라진다.

Tempranillo's where it's at! Very nice with our soppressata :)

Earthy and fruity. Beautiful balance

Very nice Rioja, had at 30th B-Day

Tasted at #wineriot with Meg. The "old" example from the young versus old booth. Less fruity, more spicy.

Mike had this 10 years ago
