Deep red fruit, leather, violet, cocoa. Lots of depth, weighty without being dull. Drinking well right now, 2017 vintage. Perfect at cellar temp. — 5 months ago
It’s hard to find fully shed classic Viura (white Rioja) anymore but old-school Lopez de Heredia clings to tradition. This wine, nearly 10 years old on release, is fascinating - aged to the point of considerable oxidation yet it retains its fruit ands acidity. Bruised apple, ripe pear, golden raisin, orange peel, flint, wet stones, and hay happily coexist with hazelnut, dried orange peel, coconut, baking spices ands more. The medium acidity is a firm foundation to a richly textured wine, Long finish too! — a month ago

Deep Ruby with an elegant bouquet of ripe berry fruits, pepper spice with earthy tones, 100% ,Tempranillo, aged for 24 months in American and French oak. On the palate flavors of plum and jammy cherry, tobacco, oak, pepper spice, lively acidity. Fine chewy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and an earthy character. Nice! — 2 years ago

Without all the wood, I thought, for a minute, maybe I do like Tempranillo. — a month ago
