95 Pts Wine Spectator

Fincas displays powerful fruit mingled with leather and loamy earth

This is 2005 and like many wines of this vintage

I suspect that the 2009 Pontet-Canet is more approachable than the 2005

It's a juicy and aromatic Garnacha

Bodegas Ostatu Gran Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2011 USA 95 Pts Wine SpectatorExclusivity of vintages. Tempranillo and Graciano. An elegant expression of the potential of great vintages in Samaniego. 24 months aging in oak casks, 5 months in oak tub and more than three years in the bottle give us a long life wine, elegant and perfumed, with excellent acidity and freshness. 94 Pts Tim Atkin
