La Rioja Tempranillo Blend

R. López de Heredia

Viña Tondonia Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2011

Finally talked this dude into drinking.

I don't know, maybe I'm getting old but aged Riojas are starting to taste/feel weighty to me. It's very good. Muddled fruits, resolved tannins, nice and round, leather notes. But somewhat boring. Probably my mood.

Faustino V Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2018

NOSE: Clearly Rioja. Waxy milk chocolate, baking spices, vanilla. Dried fig.

TASTE: thinner and brighter than expected, more and fresher fruit (pomegranate and cherries, maybe some blackberry), bitter chocolate, baking spices, leather. “Silky” — even glassy. Good. 90.

Heavenly, fruit aroma, and smooth palate- very fruit forward, lower acidity and tannins, but balanced. Delicious! — a day ago
