Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 2005

There is still more time to build complexity on this gorgeous wine. I'm drinking my bottles too quickly, but it's hard not to when it's this good! — 10 days ago

Reserva Roda Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2015

Wow! 2018 and still young. Beautiful structure; could age for another 20 years. Blue fruits with a light freshness all derived from a superb structure with firm acidity which allows the fruit to come forward and express itself. — 19 days ago

Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 2001

This is exceptional. Lemon oil and greenery. Integrated and slightly smoky. An oiliness in the palate, with a sweetness and intensity. Great freshness but a gorgeous complex mid palate. Great — 40 minutes ago

Bodegas Muga

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2020

Blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, and the rest Graciano and Mazuelo, deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak, aged in both French and American oak for 24 months. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, vanilla, tobacco and toasty oak tones. Soft full ripe tannins, wonderful balance, lively acidity on a long finish ending with an earthy mineral character. Very nice! — a month ago

Cune Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

2012 drinking in 2025. Still has a few years in it. Superbly reliable vineyard, with a great history of great wines. Cherries, blackberry, earthy notes and some light oak. Similar in the mouth though a bit thinner than I would have imagined. Really superb classic rioja bought in 2019 at a great price in the UK — 2 days ago
