Cool to try a 100% Graciano. Slightly lighter than a typical Rioja. Tart cherry, button mushrooms, and leather. — 3 days ago

Enjoy this wine. Full bodied, very dry. Lots of dark fruit, tobacco. Paired well with pasta in a red sauce but would be great on its own as well. — 2 months ago

Crazy to say but…too young! Balanced and dark but has yet to develop the spice rack subtleness and tannins can still evolve further — 16 days ago

Fantastic #rioja #riserva - dark fruit, leather, tobacco nose. Fleshy dark fruit on palate with firm acidity but equally robust tannins that build with each sip. — 4 months ago

9.2

Expressive nose, a bit reduced at first, then on ti ripe cherries, cocoa, liquorice , plums. Ample bodied, son of a dry and hot vintage, acidity that holds the alcohol and hood length and youth for a 2012. Remarkable, unexpected village, Albelda, must be the high land on the way to Clavijo. — 4 months ago

Dark violet-red color with aromas of fruit, spices and sweet notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, blueberry and plum with cacao, vanilla and black pepper. Firm tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and herb mineral character. Drinking ok now! — 4 months ago
