Gabriel Israel rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Are you kidding me?! If you like Rioja Gran Reserva wines, buy a case (yes, 12 bottles) of this amazing value. It has everything a good bargain has to offer - lots in the bottle for more than a fair price. Rich nose. full of flavors. And with a color like that another 5-7 years in the cellar with no effort.


Natalie's Review

Rioja Bordón Gran Reserva Bodegas Franco-Españolas 2001, D.O.C.A., Rioja, Spain: There it is again: that unmistakable, exotic aroma of old tanned leather and cigar smoke. Love it! Try a mature wine like this if you haven’t and discover the many pleasures of “tertiary” aromas that only develop with bottle age. This is simply some kind of wonderful. Full-bodied, smooth and elegant. Drink: 2011-2015.  114454  13.50%  D  750 mL  $23.95  Score: 93/100. October 29, 2011 Top Rated Red Wine.  Full Review
