Producer: Bodegas Ondarre
Vintage: 2014
Sub-region: Rioja Reserva
Region: Mainland Spain
Country: Spain
Award: Platinum: Best Red Rioja Reserva
Score: 95
Colour: Red
Style: Still - Dry (below 5 g/L residual sugar)
Bottle Size: 750.00 ml
Closure: Natural Cork
Tasting Notes: A first-rate example with a bevy of fleshy red fruit flavours of strawberry, cherry, and plum accompanied by spice, a lovely lick of vanilla-peppery oak, and exemplary tannins, which are sufficient for extended cellaring. A benchmark example - fine, supple and harmonious. An excellent wine for gastronomy.
Bodegas Ondarre 2014 Rioja Reserva Red Blend
Rating: 89
Light and spicy, with red-apple-skin crunch to the flavors, this is clean and fresh, with some dark coffee edges to play against the savory red fruit. For roast quail or other game birds.

Spice, tobacco and vanilla notes frame cherry, orange peel and underbrush flavors in this round, gentle red, in a traditional style, with light tannins and just enough acidity for balance. Tempranillo, Garnacha, and Mazuelo. -TM

Quite developed with a hint of caramel, this is fading and drying out fast, and that makes the acidity stick out a bit. Drink up.
