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
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

Rioja espectacular. Para no estar acostumbrado a los reservas una delicia. Suave y con cuerpo — 12 years ago
クリームチーズと干しぶどうと合わせて飲んだらおいしかったー! — 13 years ago
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
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
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
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
Sister 2001 Rioja Reservas tonight. This one incredible on the nose, rainy woodpile, mushrooms. Even better mouthfeel. Elegant, ancient mariner. — 11 years ago
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

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