Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of an hour. The 2020 Reserva pours a deep ruby/purple with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of ripe and tart dark fruits: blackberry, black cherry, toasted coconut, dill, vanilla, wood, and associated baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium+. Already balanced but the oak is playing a significant role at this stage (this is traditionally made Rioja Reserva we’re talking about). There is plenty of stuffing however and I expect this will become even more balanced with some time on its side. Want to see a wine under $20 that can age for 30 years? Welp, here you go. Drink now through 2050. — 8 days ago

Bold for a Sauv Blanc. Notes of succulent pear and tropical fruit. Well-balanced acidity. — a year ago

Gratallops 5 Partides is pure Cariñena from five different old vineyards in Gratallops. This 2014 is still very much fruit driven, with excellent complexity and length. Bottle 1169 of 1312 bottles in total. Fantastic! — 2 months ago

Barnyard funk on open. Soily. Wet leather. Needs time to expand. Time that I didn't afford it. Quite better than my last time with this. 2012 vintage offers more weight and heft. Very good.

Raspberries and dark berries upfront then a quickly fading dryness in the middle. Cocoa? at the finish. Softens as it opens up. Layers of flavor. — 3 months ago

May have to taste again, but not impressed by this carinyena. Missed some acidity and depth. — 4 years ago
