Reviews and Ratings

Raquel rated this wine as 98/100 with the following review:

Amazing spanish wine! An elegant and special Rioja's wine.

Jennifer Havers - WSET Level 3 rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

So much going on in this wine. Aromas of black plum, blackberry, sweet balsamic, smoke, leather, and spice. Full bodied, dry on the palate, with young, grippy tannins, and bright acidity. Tasted in 2020 and this wine has tons of life left. Fruit is still very fresh and ripe, and has some smoky, leathery hints on the finish. Enjoy with grilled meats.

Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Jammy plum, cedar, oak sawdust and balsamic nose. Pleasing structure with acid, alcohol, and tannins in proportion. Finish replays the sweet fruit notes of the palate, and ends with another balsamic hint. Two years of oak aging followed by another year of bottle aging. Tempranillo from vines around 50 years of age grown 500m above sea level. Ideal match for lamb chops with a balsamic reduction.

From the Rioja wine region, Valdelacierva Reserva 2014 is a full-bodied, muscular red with dark plum, dried fig, dates, dark chocolate and sous bois flavours lingering on the palate. Nice now and for the next eight years. Pair with grilled steaks and game sausage. - Community Wine Reviews
