The Bodegas Olarra Añares Rioja Gran Reserva is an exceptional wine that showcases the best of Rioja's winemaking tradition. This Gran Reserva is crafted from carefully selected Tempranillo grapes, which are known for their ability to produce wines with great aging potential. On the nose, it offers a complex bouquet of ripe red fruits, such as cherries and plums, accompanied by elegant notes of figs, forest floor, and spices. These aromas are a result of the wine's extended aging in large American oak barrels. On the palate, the Bodegas Olarra Añares Rioja Gran Reserva presents a harmonious balance between fruitiness and oak influence. The ripe red fruit flavors continue to shine, complemented by well-integrated tannins and a pleasant acidity. This wine has a medium-bodied structure and a long, lingering finish, leaving a lasting impression. Due to its extended aging in both oak barrels and bottle, this Gran Reserva has developed a remarkable complexity and depth. It is a wine that can be enjoyed now, but also has the potential to further evolve and improve with additional cellaring. Overall, the Bodegas Olarra Añares Rioja Gran Reserva is a superb example of a Rioja Gran Reserva, showcasing the region's traditional winemaking techniques and the unique character of Tempranillo grapes. It is a wine that will undoubtedly please both enthusiasts and connoisseurs alike.

I have to revise my prior rating of this Rioja. Upon sipping a second bottle, I am somewhat underwhelmed by its lack of intricacy compared to other Tempranillos. Plum and vanilla undertones are prominent, with a trace of spice. A relatively short duration with a mild tannin finish.

Luscious and full-bodied Rioja Gran Reserva with a unified blend of dried red cherry, tart raspberry, and mild earthy notes, accompanied by a polished and supple texture, and a vibrant lasting impression with a note of oak.
Kune
Rich, silky full-bodied Rioja with a smooth, mellow texture. The color was a deep, lush red with a whisper of brown undertones, but it was well-balanced and not overly tannic.
