This wine really represents stunning value for money. Aged for 24 months in American oak and then 5 years in bottle makes for a multi dimensional wine, bursting with flavour. On the nose, fruits of the forest mingle with a touch of spicy vanilla. The fruit on the palate is mature yet fresh with vanilla, toasty notes adding complexity. The mouthfeel is full with fine tannins, impressive structure and a finish which lasts and lasts.

"The 2002 Gran Vendema Gran Reserva Rioja is ruby red in colour with a nose of ripe red berry fruit, tobacco, cedar and hints of vanilla. The palate has a character of strawberries, blackberries and chocolate rounded off with soft velvety tannins. The subtle flavours and soft tannins make it an ideal partner to spring lamb."

"Blending 85% Tempranillo and 15% Grenache, there's lots of creamy, rich fruit here, with plenty of sweet vanilla and a fudge-like depth. We like the warmth and richness of this, but that plush, creamy quality is balanced by plenty of fresh, vital acidity and punchy, food friendly savour. Score: 88/100 "

This is as good a Rioja as you'll find for the money. It's a big earthy elegant wine, rich in fruit yet subtly refreshing. For an 8 year old Rioja at £7.50 a bottle this is too good to miss, that's less than a quid a year.
