Ontañón
Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Graciano
La Rioja, Spain
Spiced red fruit and warm toasty oak. Black cherry, raspberry, clove, anise, and vanilla. Nice balance of all the flavors American palates adore. Really great QPR.

Fresh plum, dried rose petals and subtle notes of dill and vanilla from American oak. Medium+ body and vibrant red fruit on the palate. Medium tannins, elegant finish. 2010 is still quite youthful and should cellar another 5+ years.

Age this for many more years. Astounding value.

Aug 10th, 2018Welcome to the weekend and I have opened tonight the 2005 Ontañón Rioja Reserva, 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano.
On the nose there is cherry, plum, raspberry, licorice, spice, vanilla, rich oak and an eartiness.
On the palate there is good red fruit, cherry, raspberry, strawberry, plum, a vegital/herbal thing going on, vanilla and toasty oak.
The wine is medium full bodied, well balanced with medium acidity and medium smooth tannins that progress into a medium to long finish. Let's all have a great weekend and please be safe. Nostrovia! 🍷🍷🍷🍷
