El Coto Tempranillo -1995 (WE-53994)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Seductive and classy aromas of sandalwood, cola, spice, licorice and leather amount to pretty much everything you could ask for. Ripe and complex in terms of its earth and tree-fruit flavors. Finishes svelte and sturdy, but with ample vanilla, toffee and tobacco nuances. Classic gran reserva. Imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons, Ltd. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo -1996 (WE-60570)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Broad-shouldered and muscled-up, this hearty wine seems more youthful than it is. The nose is spicy and full of lively berry aromas, while the palate is laced with red cherry, raspberry and vanilla. It’s a classic gran reserva with dried qualities and spice. It’s right on the money. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo Blend -1998 (WE-41570)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Leathery and smoky, with woodsy aromas as well as the essence of dried red fruits. Like many classic Rioja, it’s a touch racy and acidic, but that zest pushes the cherry, cranberry and raspberry fruit toward an even finish. As a whole it’s snappy, with a solid core. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo Blend -2000 (WE-91786)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Like you might expect from a maturing gran reserva, Imaz offers glimpses of raisin, sweet berry and even some aged cheese. In the mouth, it’s all about red fruit, although an earthy undertone provides some background. Feels a little stark, zesty and lean, while the finish is solid and tastes of vanilla and leather. Drink now through 2012. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo -2001 (WE-128194)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Toasty and elegant from the beginning. The nose breathes Christmas spice and mature berry fruits, while the palate deals a persistent structure and acidity for added spine. Tastes a little rooty and savory, with root beer and chocolate notes to the finish. Drink now or hold thru 2016. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo -1997 (WE-16030)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

Bright, expressive, fleshy—all words that came up again and again describing this wine’s fruit, from nose to finish. The core is mostly blackberry, with mixed plums and a dash of oak; it’s medium-full, mouthfilling but not huge. Finsihes with some chewy tannins, and an almost beefy flavor. Perhaps too big to fully appreciate now; best drunk from 2005. —D.M. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo Blend -2001 (WE-70077)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

You’re going to like this masculine, well-oaked blend of 80% Tempranillo with 10% each Graciano and Garnacha. It’s got modern touches but a lot of tradition as well. The wine is rich and round, with tobacco, coffee, chocolate and earth creating depth and character. With fine mouthfeel and a solid finish, you can drink now or hold a few more years. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo Blend -2000 (WE-54018)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

There’s no shortage of barrel-driven hickory, coffee and chocolate on this modern-style Rioja, but there’s also a spike of green on the nose and at the core of the flavor profile. Surrounding that is bright blackberry, amplified tannins and bursting acidity. Needs air upon opening—that, or more time in the cellar. 1 Note

El Coto Tempranillo Blend -2004 (WE-91787)

Most Recent Tasting Note:

Profile Image

A success for El Coto! This is a dark and lusty wine that falls squarely into the Nuevo Classico style. It’s smoky and dark on the nose, with mineral notes blending with chocolate and ripe berry aromas. Lushness carries the palate, which rests on blackberry and cassis flavors. Controlled, weighty and concentrated. A big wine for big food and big occasions. 1 Note
