Finca La Emperatriz

Reserva Rioja Alta Tempranillo Blend

Hard to give a read on this, given its wine companions for the night. Seems like it’s at its peak and the tannins were medium through the two hours we drank from it. Wasn’t decanted, would love to be tasting it again today to see what was left. — 6 years ago

Monte Real Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 1964

At first we thought it was corked. After about an hour it started kicking off and probably with more time would even excel. Black and red cherry notes with earthy - leathery spices. Light, soft and balanced tannins. High rate for its age. — 8 years ago

Lealtanza Reserva Club Rioja Tempranillo 2012

Balanced intensity. Nice spice edge. Tobacco drenched in dark tart cherry and huckleberries ....I think. 😄. I just threw that one in because it was on my mind. We were eating huckleberries on our trails hiking Idaho this weekend. 👍 — 6 years ago

Bodegas Bilbainas

Viña Pomal Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2014

Thought this was a really unique Rioja. Deep Rick ruby with a smokey burnt caramel aroma. On the bud, stewed dark cherries, pepper, and pomegranate that is smooth and a long finish. Nice tannins in the mouth. Great price for a gran reserva from a famous Rioja winery. — 2 years ago
