Crianza Rioja Tempranillo 2012

Very different Rioja and at first though it had some other grapes then just temp. Big and rich and a bit surprising. A lot of tar, big fruit and just rich. Nice drinker for sure. — 7 years ago

Rioja Tempranillo 1978

After 39 years, this wine still has held up well. Typical Rioja Tempranillo grapes with tobacco, leather and black fruit to the nose. Oaky. Almost no tannins and still balanced.
Given to me by a good friend of mine who obviously kept it well cellared all these years!
