1 x Bodegas Roda Reserva, 2020
RODA wines are renowned for their distinctive style, showcasing a compelling red fruit profile that immediately captivates with aromas at the edge of the glass. Sweet spice notes and a gentle freshness complement the vibrant red fruit. On the palate, the wine is fresh, long, and silky, with a voluptuous and continuous mouthfeel. The harmonious balance of red fruit and understated wood, along with sweet spices and mineral notes, adds complexity. The result is a bulky, tasty, and fruity wine with soft, melted tannins, ranking among the top 1% of all wines in the world.
1 x Vina Tondonia Rioja Reserva 2012
A beautifully refined Rioja, aged for six and a half years in French oak barrels, showing a fresh and delicate nose with subtle hints of vanilla and smoky, earthy notes. The palate is a real treat—aromatic and layered, with a silky smooth texture and perfectly balanced tannins. You'll pick up juicy flavors of ripe blackberry, cassis, and cherry, complemented by a touch of damson plum. The oak influence is subtle but brings in lovely hints of tobacco, black pepper, and soft leather, leading to a long, satisfying finish. It’s drinking beautifully now and has great potential for further ageing.
1 x Remelluri Rioja Reserva 2016
This is an exceptional Rioja, it’s not often that a wine completely stops you in its tracks. Mainly the Tempranillo grape with some Graciano and Monastrell, Remelluri Reserva has so much going on in it its hard to know where to start. A wine to impress. Remelluri is the family estate of Telmo Rodriguez, a man who is considered one of the best wine makers in Spain. Having worked in Bordeaux, Rhone and Provence, he returned to Spain to his beloved Remelluri.
