Bodegas Exopto - Rioja Bozeto 2021

3.2/5 (5 reviews)

“To be enjoyed without moderation!”

“Exopto’s very young 2021 Bozeto red [...] seems very balanced, with good ripeness (14.5%), showing the Garnacha and the more austere Graciano with beautiful fruit and freshness. It is very well done and has a complexity and depth that exceeds its price. It was aged in a combination of concrete and oak containers for about six months. An excellent deal in one of the best vintages for this wine.” (Wine Advocate 2022)

Bodegas Exopto - Rioja Horizonte de Exopto 2019

4/5 (1 review)

"Plums, stones, peppercorns, tobacco and roasted herbs on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine-grained tannins. Supple, peppery and racy finish. Tempranillo, Graciano and Garnacha. Drink now or cellar. (James Suckling 2022)

Bodegas Exopto - Horizonte de Exopto 2018

3.4/5 (18 reviews)

Horizonte de Exopto white offers freshness, liveliness and great aromatic complexity. This blend is made from white grape vines planted in the midst of red vineyards, giving it all its charm and grandeur. A gastronomic white with tension, we love it!

Bodegas Exopto - Exopto 2016

"[...] Although the year could have been cooler, this 2016 seems riper than the 2017s, a constant here, and in this case, it's thanks to Rioja Baja Graciano. There are more Mediterranean herbal notes in this vintage, and the wine is quite rich and full-bodied but with freshness, life and length. There's also less oak than in previous vintages." (Wine Advocate 2019 - Luis Gutiérrez) A modern, tasty wine.

Dominio Del Viento - Rioja Crianza 2011

3.8/5 (13 reviews)

"An exceptional Rioja! Dominio del Viento 2011 is composed of Tempranillo and Graciant aged 12 months in French oak barrels. Enticing notes of pencil shavings, blackcurrant, licorice and a touch of barbecue smoke emerge from this medium-bodied, fruity, elegant red with impressive purity, texture and depth. The wine's overall balance and evolved style suggest drinking it now and over the next 5-6 years." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Bodegas Exopto - Horizonte de Exopto 2012

3.5/5 (11 reviews)

Score: Robert Parker 91/100
"The Horizonte de Exopto 2012 white is produced from white grape varieties planted in old vineyards. It is a blend of Viura, Garnacha Blanca and Malvasia Riojana vinified together. Although young, it has the intensity of old vines and the complexity of a varied blend. Notes of fennel, white flower, yellow peach and a salty nuance make this a very attractive wine. I really like this white, and I think it will evolve well in bottle. Drink now through 2018." (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker )

Bodegas Exopto - Horizonte de Exopto 2008

4/5 (7 reviews)

Rating: Robert Parker 90+/100
"Horizonte de Exopto 2008 is composed of 65% Tempranillo, 20% Graziano and 15% Grenache aged 10 months in French and American oak barrels. A deep ruby color, it offers notes of Asian spice, incense, mineral, leather, a hint of balsamic and an assortment of black fruits. Spicy, savory and very complex on the palate..." (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate June 2011). A must-have!

Bodegas Exopto - Rioja B.B. (Big Bang) 2009

3.2/5 (34 reviews)

Rated by Robert Parker 90/100 over the last three vintages.
The initials B.B for Big Bang sum up this cuvée quite well. A real little bomb, with exceptional value for money, this Rioja is the product of a Frenchman, Tom Puyaubert, who has been living in Spain for 10 years. This wine reflects the strength and richness of Rioja, with its blend of Grenache, Tempranillo and Graciano. Robert Parker says of this winemaker : "Exopto's three new cuvées are all extra-ordinary. The B. B is a real bomb..."
