Alta Nova

La Rioja Alta

Selección Especial Gran Reserva 890 Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2005

A phenomenal wine that really rewards a minimum of 2, but ideally 3 hours of breathing time. The nose is simply intoxicating and the acidity and red fruits are so finely balanced that it just melts in your mouth. What a treat! — 2 years ago

Viña Real (CVNE)

Plata Crianza Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2012

Dark berries and a hint of orange peel, with a little graphite and stone. Medium acidity and tannins. Very good value, which is typical of the wines I’ve had from this producer. — 6 years ago

Benjamin Bridge

Best ever from here; just stunning. Structured and built to age, it also caresses the palate with Marco's telltale seductiveness. Costs barely anything; beats most. Great combo. — 7 years ago

Bodegas Mas Alta

Artigas Priorat Red Blend 2011

2011. Complex nose. Deeply pitched ripe dark berry fruit, wood smoke and piercing rock dust notes. Sledgehammer powerful in the mouth. Almost overwhelming rich dry extract coats the mouth. Huge body. Finish is very long with pure dark berry notes and dark minerals competing to see who quits first. Great wine. But you have to pick your moments for this one. — 9 years ago
