Marqués de Tomares

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2010

9.0

Dark garnet/purple to the edge with a strong aroma of black plum & berries, earth, maybe tabacco and oak backed with a strong alcohol/acidic nose. Smooth at first, some fruit forwardness but then the acidity hits. Really need to have this with the right food to balance. On the dry side with even tannins. Will see after real airing. Turned into a much smoother less acidic wine with clear fruit- a real find! — 2 months ago

Incredibly youthful. Fresh and sappy blue fruit with real zest and depth. Loads going on here and a long, polished finish. A later release. And an immaculate bottle. Years ahead — 6 years ago

Really nice red blend. The petition Verdot is actually quite evident at the initial pour. Continued to open up into a real nice, layered red. Plenty of fruit and some white pepper and cedar notes. — 3 years ago

Damn the 8.5 ratings - this is a complex, lovely Chianti Classico with plum, cherry, leather, violet, and licorice notes - nicely balanced. A real delight and wonderful value. — 5 years ago
