Natalie's Score: 91/100

From the Rioja wine region, Viña Real Gran Reserva 2015 is rich on the nose and palate with layers of mocha, dark cherry, plum, citrus and savoury herb flavours concentrated on the palate. The wine was aged for 24 months in French and American oak barrels. Tannins are fine-grained and polished. Good now, but will continue to evolve in bottle over the next few years.

Food pairings: hearty soups, hearty meat stews, pork tenderloin.

Reviews and Ratings

From the Rioja wine region, Viña Real Gran Reserva 2015 is dry, full-bodied 95% Tempranillo and 5% Graciano red wine blend intense with ripe dark berry, mocha, orange zest, savoury herbs and well-integrated oak spice flavours. Tannins are polished. Good now, but the wine will continue to evolve in bottle. Drink or hold. - Community Wine Reviews

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
