It is always great to revisit a classic. This is one of the best representations of Rivera del Duero as a whole, composed of fruit from select parcels and vineyards from the DO; it always exudes opulence, the body is full, the tannins are grippy and the finish lingers. — a month ago
Deep Ruby, aromas of sweet red and black fruits with pepper spice and oak. 4 grape blend from some of CVNE's best vineyards in the Rioja Alta (85% Tempranillo, rest Garnacha, Mazuelo & Graciano), aged in both French and American oak for 24 months. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with licorice, vanilla, tobacco & 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
Toro: one of the oldest and strongest expressions of Tempranillo is tamed by the House of Vega Sicilia. Pintia preserves the rustic and robust nature of the DO in an elegant way. Aromas and flavors of dark fruit, violets, dark chocolate, coffee and spice. Full bodied, high alcohol and fine grain tannins with a strong finish are sure to entice. — a month ago

100% Tempranillo crafted by Asúa Winery located in the town of Haro, La Rioja, Spain, an area known for its unique clay soils rich in calcium and iron. This particular winery focuses on small batch production runs to ensure each bottle receives the care and attention in the vineyards and the cellar.
The wine is aged for 14 months in French oak barrels, it has an amazing purple in hue. On the nose has some decent reductive aromas featuring plums and blackberry with a noticeable oaky layer. On the mouth the supple tannins and juicy on the fruit-forward complements the elongated finish.
A wine style that never disappoints and give you a tremendous run for the money! — a month ago
Blend of Tempranillo (85%), Graciano (10%) and Mazuelo (5%) that has hit its peak. Medium ruby color. Complex aromas of ripe red and black fruit, leather and a bevy of spices. Black cherry and tobacco flavors with nice notes of vanilla and black pepper. Just a hint of balsamic vinegar on the long and lingering finish. Velvety tannins. Medium-plus body and excellent balance. Outstanding quality for the price. — 11 days ago

While I think it has the potential to be a memorable wine, right now it seemed a bit disjointed. — 21 hours ago
