Skirting the line between classical & modern. Smells very rich with powerful dark fruit & sweet oaky aromatics. The palate shows power, but still brings freshness and finesse. Structure is definitely behind the fruit here, but this is a lovely GR for Saturday night. — 6 years ago

A few years ago Spanish wine was a total bargain. Then they figured out they could send us junk. I stopped buying. But in desperation recently I got this and was surprised. Really pretty good and both varietals are very present. Even better after a day, showing some interesting depth. Maybe cheapie Spanish wines are back to being bargains. — 7 years ago

Only half american oak and it shows. Less vanilla than el coto but still there. More complexity. I like it. (Goes well with sweet potatoes​. — 8 years ago

El Coto Rioja Rosado... 90% Tempranillo 10% Garnacha. Chilled on a hot summer evening and served alongside chicken-celery-lemon-garlic-zucchini over chunky pasta. Threw some of the same wine into the recipe. Delicious, refreshing, and a good complement to the Mediterranean style dish. — 5 years ago

9.0

A blend of Treixadura, Giselle & Loureiro. Expressive on the nose with yellow stone fruit, moist rocks & moss and a saline whiff. Surprisingly rich on the palate yet beautifully balanced by the juicy acidity and asking, mineral bite.
This has surprising depth & precision. An absolutely beautiful match with fish (pot roasted red gurnard)!! — 5 years ago

Vanilla, cinnamon, violet, canned cranberries, dried strawberries, blackberries, red licorice, touch of delicious animal funk

1973... Amazingly fresh. Great acid. Pretty. Floral. Orange-brick red. Cork came out beautifully with ah-so. So much more fruit and freshness than the 75 El Coto. No overwhelming oxidatio. What a treat. — 7 years ago

9.0

Cigales has been a grape growing area for centuries but in recent times production has been on the decline, and winery was bought in the late 1990’s by the El Coto group. Grapes from low yielding 100% Tempranillo vines, in excess of 70 years old. Aged for 24 months in 3-year old French oak, deep Ruby with berry fruit aromas and gentle spice. On the palate blackberry and blueberry flavors and leather and licorice notes, smooth tannins on a lingering finish ending with oak and mineral tones. — 8 years ago
