Viña Ginesa Reservas

Viña Tondonia Gran Reserva Rioja Blanco Malvasia Viura 1991

Perhaps needed a decant. Great wine but not showing markedly different than the reservas. Seemed remarkably young. — 10 years ago

Señor de Lesmos Crianza Rioja Tempranillo 2010

My first wine on this wine journey! Smelled like fruit but more just like alcohol. It tasted much better than it smelled - fruity and suuuuper smooth. Doesn't seem very tannic or acidic. I've been told it's unstructured, so I kind of want to try reservas now. I love it compared to the stuff I've had before (very cheap); this is in another league! — 10 years ago

C.V.N.E. (Compañía Vinícola del Norte de España)

Imperial Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2007

Not super impressed. Very light bodied almost hollow. Much better after 3 hour in decanter. medium low acidity made food pairing not ideal. After a string of awesome imperial gran reservas it's hard to get excited. That said - it's a very well made wine and enjoyable in an off year for rioja alta — 11 years ago

Ontañón

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Graciano 2001

It may not hit the heights of other Gran Reservas, but as a well priced bottle of 15 year old Tempranillo, it works great. Fresh, yet structured with a mix of dark fruit & spicy oak accents. Checks those modern Rioja boxes very well. — 10 years ago

Reserva Mendoza Malbec 2012

Spicy, big Argentinian Malbec that's a great value. It's my go to house wine and quite good given you can find it in most stores. Many of the Uco valley vineyards (harsher climate than the rest of Mendoza) with good reservas can be hard to find in the U.S. I like the 2010/11 vintages better than the 2012 — 11 years ago

Adega Mãe

Reserva Touriga Nacional Syrah 2011

Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon e Syrah criam este Reseva '11 com uma cor profunda e de aromas a frutos pretos. Bastante elegante. A comprar sem reservas. — 12 years ago

Alfio Moriconi Selection Valserrano Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2007

Rather good. Half French oak, half American oak. far less tight than the 06 reservas. black cherry and plum fruit with smoke and leather. — 13 years ago

Campo Viejo

Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2008

This 2008 does not have the complexity or depth of the 2004 and 2005 Campo Viejo Gran Reservas. The nose does have nice molasses notes and it starts well. There is some bitterness in the middle with a mostly acid, although long, finish. — 10 years ago

Bodegas Ramirez

Ramirez de la Piscina Gran Reserva Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2001

Sister 2001 Rioja Reservas tonight. This one incredible on the nose, rainy woodpile, mushrooms. Even better mouthfeel. Elegant, ancient mariner. — 11 years ago

Dense, rich, modern and young- not like other gran reservas. Very good all the same, and if old bottles are anything to judge by, it has a long life ahead. — 11 years ago

I'll be curious to see what you think when you try it. It certainly seemed like in the past these were more traditional.

Bodegas Luis Cañas

Reserva Selección de la Familia Rioja Tempranillo Blend 2006

Been to the small town in Rioja near Haro where the winery is located. A great bodega with excellent gran reservas and reservas are great, and even their personal selection crianza is nice. Hard to find in the states, but worthy when you can find it! — 12 years ago
