Vinous (92)Ruby-red. Cherry-vanilla, black raspberry and candied flowers on the intensely perfumed nose. Plush and expansive, with hefty dark berry and bitter cherry flavors, along with suggestions of cola and mocha. A spicy note adds bite to the finish, which is firmed by supple, harmonious tannins. Very successful for this difficult, uneven vintage. |

Wine Advocate (97)The 2008 Vina el Pison comes from a single vineyard planted in 1945 on pure limestone. It is the epitome of elegance with a sensual bouquet, a silky texture, already complex flavors, and a lengthy, pure finish. It will offer at least a 20 year lifespan, just long enough for the 2009 to be hitting its stride. |

Tim Atkin MW (97)Tondonia's reds have been on an upward curve recently and are now at the same level as the bodega's world-class whites. This is a fine, elegant, savoury, low-alcohol blend of Tempranillo with 20% Garnacha and 5% each of Mazuelo and Graciano, combining summer berry fruit, racy acidity, granular tannins and an earthy, balsamic undertone. Good now, but this will develop further in bottle. |

Hailing from the celebrated Rioja Alavesa region, the magnificent Remirez de Ganuza Rioja Reserva 2008 is a true testament to Spanish viticulture. The craftsmen behind this vintage, Bodegas Remirez de Ganuza, employ a meticulous grape selection process that involves pioneering destemming techniques to maximise the fruit's essence. Harvested from 60-years-old vineyards, this Tempranillo and Graciano blend underwent malolactic fermentation in new French oak barrels for 19 months. The result is a full-bodied, expressive wine. The Remirez de Ganuza Rioja Reserva 2008 possesses intense, concentrated fruit notes of blackberry and plum complementing the warm spices, cocoa, and cedar base, courtesy of its oak ageing. The finely branched tannins lend an exquisite elegance and reverence to this wine, further enhancing its velvety texture and elongated finish. Representing the top tier of Spanish wines, a bottle of Remirez de Ganuza Rioja Reserva 2008 is a must-have in the collection of discerning wine enthusiasts. |

Jancis Robinson (19+)Deep garnet with a wide smudgy rim. Spicy and laced with sweet chocolate. A certain untamed quality to the fine dark fruit. Peppery and highly seasoned but that doesn’t batter the fruit, which is more like blackberry than cherry or cassis. As on several of the wines from this stable, there’s a savoury dark-olive quality. Tannins are thick, resolved but not yet fine/elegant. Still remarkably not ready for the fullest expression of pleasure but it is clearly moving towards refinement and already has wonderful length. |
