Viña Cubillo Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend
La Rioja Alta, La Rioja, Spain
Popped and poured; no formal notes. This bottle was enjoyed over two days however, upon reflection, I found that I enjoyed this better on Day 1. The 2014 “Cubillo” is loaded with beautiful ripe red and black fruits accompanied by some olive, dill, vanilla, and coconut. Structure is pretty much medium across the board. I preferred it on Day 1 not because it fell off…it just didn’t hit the same way when I drank the other half of the bottle on Day 2. Hard to really explain. Anyway, these are meant to be enjoyed on the younger side so might as well drink now although they will probably drink very well for several years to come. I really enjoy these wines.

Un tempranillo mezcla de rioja. este es mi tercero tempranillo desde rioja. espero sentirme un caballero. first scent was coke (cola) on the cork. hue is extremely dark. No clarity much turbidity in broad daylight. slight note of sweet cherry. much barrel and deep tannic tones of turbulence i find terrific. sour cherry on the tongue. Really dazzling deep wine brings the whole picnic and woodsy fairytale all together #tempranilloblend

2014 vintage. Needs more time. Slightly green and not totally ripened cherry tartness currently. Nose okay tho. Give it at least 3-4 years before taking the plunge.
