Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

I am biased for Rioja but this is a very good demonstration of why. Great balance ripe reserved fruit in harmony with some slight puckering length. Better in 10 years. Totally fine now. — 19 days ago

Dominio de Pingus

PSI Ribera del Duero Tempranillo 2008

Popped and poured; enjoyed over two days. Best on Day 2 after it brightened up. The 2008 pours a deep garnet with a near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears and signs of sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of blackberry compote, coffee, Werther’s Chocolate, tobacco leaf, leather, teriyaki, demi-glace, and dry earth. On the palate the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes on the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. This is delicious and has to be one of the great values in Ribera del Duero. Drink now through 2032+. — 18 days ago

Bodegas Muga

Gran Reserva Prado Enea Rioja Tempranillo 2015

2015 vintage. Hoo boy, is this delivering! Bigger tannins and more concentration throughout. Still a baby tho. Park it at a subterranean level in the cellar for a 15-20 spot. If you just gotta drink it in the next half-decade, you're best off decanting at lunchtime for dinnertime presentation. 5.1.24. — 15 days ago

Bodegas Faustino

Gran Reserva Faustino I Rioja Tempranillo Blend

Excellent. Doit être bien aéré. Sec, bien généreux mais pas corsé. Un mélange de cèdre, prune, tabac, fruits rouges confits s, bien équilibré, aucune lourdeur. Les goûts sont plus doux que le Faustina V. Excellent avec un ragoût de veau marsala. SAQ $31 — 19 days ago
