WineScores' Review

Charming, fragrant, mature.
Marques de la Concordia has been making wine in Spain for over 150 years. This 100% Tempranillo comes from vines grown in the Alta and Alavesa Rioja, Spain's most prestigious winemaking region.
Being a 2018 it has some age, in part 24 months in a mix of French and American oak, then more in bottle.
Expect a fragrant wine with strawberry compote and dried cherry, tobacco, cedar, saddle leather and star anise. It's leads with high-toned red fruit layered with spice and cigar flavours. Medium-bodied with attractive tertiary character from maturity, it is also charming and drinking nicely now.
Pair with game, lamb, aged cheeses and rich tomato-based sauces.

WineDiva.ca was launched prior to WineScores, in February 2004. WineDiva is the alter ego of Daenna Van Mulligen. She wears a cork tiara and is proof that a girl can have her w(h)ine and drink it too! WineDiva.ca is a tongue-in-cheek approach to a very serious passion for all things wine. WineDiva’s goal is to make wine fun, subtly educational & deviously inspirational. Vintage reciting wine snobs need not apply. WineDiva is painting the wine world pink and drinking it all in, and her glass is always (at least) half-full.

WineScores is the more serious follow up to WineDiva.ca. WineScores was born from the demand to see wine writer Daenna Van Mulligen provide scores on her wine reviews. These are numerical scores based on a 100 point scale – an internationally recognized form of rating wines. These numbers provide a snapshot for consumers on how the wine reviewer views the overall quality of the wine. For more information on scoring wine, go to “about”.
