La Rioja, Spain

La Granja Nuestra Señora de Remelluri

Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2016

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner. The 2016 Reserva pours a deep ruby/purple color with an opaque core; medium viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of black cherry, figs, tobacco, old wood and rocky earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. A delicious, refined Rioja Tinto in the early stages. I expect this will only gain complexity with time in the cellar. Drink now through 2041. — a day ago

@Lyle Fass I’ve never had the chance to try the Blanco. I’ll keep an eye out for it though!

PnP. Very nice. Nothing stood out as memorable, just a solid, classic Spanish Tempranillo. — 4 days ago

Reserva Unfiltered Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2021

2021 vintage. Phenomenal value. Medium heavy body. Spicy conversation amongst fruit-driven interplay. Substantial but not deal-breaking tannins. 12.10.25. — a month ago
