El Coto de Rioja
Gran Reserva Coto de Imaz Rioja Tempranillo Blend
Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas and sweet baking spice notes. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with notes of cinnamon, cacao and earthy spice. Savory full fine tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and forest floor character. Good value. Tasted twice.

Dec 16th, 2020Good day 1, great day 2. This is quite a bit different than what we remember from our first bottle - more old leather character which we both enjoyed. Nose is leather, floral, and stewed dark fruit. Nice chewy mouthfeel. Cherry, fig, baking spice, and acidity. I’d love to have this with a great food pairing. Thinking duck breast with fruit sauce and ancient grains.

Oct 24th, 2021This is very good! Black cherry, black raspberry, licorice, with nice acidity and tannins. Pretty well balanced, long finish, easy drinking. Strong oak influence, but tannins aren’t out of place. Interesting to see the variation on ratings for this one.

As much as I try to avoid oak juice, this is totally worth drinking now, or better yet, holding onto for 3-5 years.

Lovely Gran Reserva Rioja! Intense violet aromas with hints of rose petals and leather. Dark cherry flavors with notes of mushrooms, and bakers chocolate. Smooth and dusty tannins. Long finish. Excellent. Revisited in May 2021. Still excellent!
