Buying at the budget end while travelling is like throwing dice, but this Rioja Reserva (1 year in oak, 2 in bottle) delivered nicely at around 11€. Balanced, black/raspberry fruited, earthy, bit of spice, leather, gravelly tannin. If I find another bottle I’ll buy it! Ronda, Spain — 7 years ago

Glorioso Rioja Gran Reserva. — 13 years ago
Pretty sleek, subtle example. But to be honest, I always expect Condrieu to be more flamboyant than it actually is. It's a caricature that I (wrongly) project upon the appellation... — 13 years ago
Red fruit on the nose, raspberry’s. Love the fruit on the pallet with a nice long mineral like finish. Was rated 97 by decanter. Maybe a bit high, but for pop and pour, this bottle is pretty dang delicious. — 7 years ago
