L'avis des experts
Honorable is one of Rioja’s historic brands, so it’s a pleasure to taste something as thrilling as this 2021 release. Combining Tempranillo, 7% Graciano and 3% Garnacha, this partners aromas of incense, coffee bean and liquorice with a vibrant, focused, energetic palate of blackberry, mint and dark chocolate. A brilliant wine with beautiful balance. 2028-40
I love the nose of the 2021 Honorable, a neoclassical red blend of 80% Tempranillo, 15% Graciano and 5% Garnacha (no mere Mazuelo) from vineyards in five different villages, Lanciego, San Vicente de la Sonsierra, Samaniego, Elciego and Labastida, fermented by village and aged in French (85%) and American oak barrels for 18 months. The year was cooler and had a long cycle, when the grapes achieved great ripeness and development of aromas and flavors, while keeping good freshness. The wine is not a shy one; it has 15% alcohol, keeping a pH of 3.6. It's juicy, hedonistic and showy, with tons of berries, flowers and herbs, integrated oak and a medium- to full-bodied palate with abundant, fine tannins. It's serious and has clout. 18,465 bottles produced. It was bottled in August 2023.
Fresh and deep on the nose, showing black cherries, white pepper and grilled herbs. A touch of sweet spices. Very attractive with medium to full body, fine-grained tannins and a long, juicy finish. A blend of 60% garnacha and 40% tempranillo. An excellent year. Drink from 2026. - Zekun Shuai, Senior Editor.

Extraordinario,la primera vez que lo he probado y lo tengo en mi top, veremos si sigue en esa linea.
Me ha sorprendido mucho! Vino elegante, equilibrado, fruta madura,especias! Un vinazo relacion P/C.
Buen rioja, muy recomendable.
No cabe duda que la viura le sienta muy bien,y que la madera está bastante bien integrada.Creo que la bodega sigue progresando adecuadamente
