Reserva Selección de la Familia Rioja Tempranillo Blend

always a solid buy with great p/q and good future! Now 14 years old and singing…!

very rich and bold, first day really oaky, second day was much better and more drinkable!

Earthy and bold

An exemplary Rioja; dark fruits, mostly cherries. Fab lasting taste.

Färg: mörk, blåröd.
Doft: kände mörka bär, choklad , kaffe.
Smak: sträv, ganska kraftig, kände alkohol, tanniner kvar, hög syra. Mörka bär, lite bitter som choklad med hög kakaohalt?
Spara nästa flaska till 2019, så att tanninerna hinner försvinna.

Cecilia: inte någon favorit. (Jag tror att det beror på syran och fylligheten).

Superb Rioja, in a New World style. Creamy with a lot of big fruit.

Lush fruit driven. Short on the pallet fresh tannin finish that disappears quick.

First time with the 2010 vintage. Have had at least a case of 2009. Still having sinus troubles...

Some greenery, subtle licorice, nose.
Quite acidic. I bet this will be better than the 2009, needs more time to develop. Gonna buy and hold some.

Medium to full bodied. Cedar notes, vainilla, spices, red fruits and mint. Smooth mouthfeel, not too tannic, still young as alcohol is quite present but, should develop further overtime. Nice surprise and great value at $21
