Lagunilla Reserva Rioja

This review is for the 2007 vintage

Base on the expert review and reviews left by others I bought this wine expecting it to be something special but I have found it to be very disappointing. It lacks both body and good after taste. Even at half price it is not great value.

Excellent value when half price. Buy it in bulk & use it as my standard rioja. Some of friends prefer this to the gran reserva. Full of flavour with a smo0th after finish.

Having read other reviews I expected a great tasting wine. It has left an extremely unpleasant taste in the mouth and ,sadly, I have 11 bottles left.

I got this wine first on holiday in Majorca on recommendation of the waiter and that's a few years ago 'cause my children still where on holiday with us!. Naturally I could not get it here when I returned. Then I saw it with Tesco. It is a super classic rioja....thats all that needs to be said.

One of the best medium priced riojas on the market. It has a lovely bouquet and is smooth on the palate. A great one to have on hand for any occasion.

This wine is so delicious, we even used it for our daughter's wedding!

Lovely wine. Bought for my husband who only drinks good red wines. He has sampled a few varieties of Rioja and says that, in his opinion, this sits with some of the best. Give it a go!

Lagunilla is always predictably drinkable. A good wine which is acceptable in most situations whether a drink and nibbles, party wine or a little something to take for your host. Good value for money.

A Full bodied oaky Rioja this wine has the potential to mature for many more years but is excellent drinking now.

This is a lovely smooth wine, mellow and easy on the palate - whether drinking with a meal or on its own.

Have drank several vintages of this wine never fails to please Great Rioja very well balanced.

Lovely wine - gets better with decanting and breathing though...

Again not a full bodied wine so can be enjoyed with a meal or just on its own. Also enjoyed with our Christmas lunch, Turkey and beef.

Unfortunately it never arrived as tesco either didn't deliver it or the driver gave it away to someone else !!! Not too happy with your service to be fair

A great Rioja just the job to impress at a dinner party. Or better still save it just for yourself. It is a current favourite

I bought twelve bottles, six for friends and six for home consumption - all loved it. Full but not heavy - accompanies meals as well as nibbles.

Very full bodied, quite heavy. Definitely a wine to enjoy with a meal.

I love my Spanish wines. They are often overlooked by "wine snobs". This is a fantastic wine which I managed to pick up when on special for about £5.00 per bottle. Nice easy drinking red and well worth stocking up on when on special. You won't be disappointed with this one.

Every single one of our red wine drinking friends has started to buy this rich smooth ruby red after sampling it at one of our bridge nights

The title has the reason for purchasing this wine!! Not a great deal of body but never-the-less very drinkable when cooking!!! Its back to south african for me. My guests enjoyed it

This review is for the 2006 vintage

This is a very good wine for the price. Would certainly buy it again. I have always had an excellent delivery service fromTesco.

Bought a case of Lagunilla which is a favourite. Excellent wine, look forward to the next case. Would recommend.

This wine has become a firm favourite - it is light, fruity and very enjoyable, on its own or with food.

An execelent wine, I love Rioja and this is one of the best you do in the price range ... you keep supplying and I will keep buying.

Fantastic wine, fantastic price - I'd buy it again and again and again!!

This review is for the 2007 vintage

Good body, pleasant, fruity taste with a soft feel. A good, warm wine to enjoy on its own or with whatever food you fancy to enhance.

Given it 3 stars at best, that is if heavily discounted. Easy drinking but failed to excite but at the lower price it was a fair buy. So it's a party of pasta ok but look for a discounted purchase.

This review is for the 2007 vintage

This medium bodied rioja is reasonable value at the discounted price. The nose is earthy and fruit laden but the impression on the palate is of an arm wrestle between bright berry fruit and oak. Unfortunately the oak wins, leaving the experience rather unbalanced, especially when drinking without food.

Very smooth rich blackberry flavour. Great impact on the palate with a lasting after-taste.

This review is for the 2007 vintage

I can't talk about nose, or body, or flavours that linger and advise what's best to eat with this wine: all I know is that when Tesco have this at 50% off (or better) then it's great value for money. It's smooth and easy to drink. Highly recommended and look out for its black-labelled daddy......

Love this wine,good all rounder,but love the price.Would recommend.

Rioja is a safe bet for most people and clearly Tesco are selecting more and more great Rioja`s. I feel this particular wine ticks all the boxes. Enjoy!

Always first on my stocking up list. Very smooth and a typical Riocha..

At this discounted price I have bought many cases of this wine and have never been disappointed and at this review another 2 cases are on their way. It is a very versatile Rioja for the price and can hold its own against some of the better Spanish Reds. I have gifted this wine on many occasions and have never had any negative feedback.

Purchased six bottles of this wine on online, took five of them back to local store. That says it all !

This wine is full of flavour. Lovely colour and smell. Tastes good on its own or with red meat dishes.

This review is for the 2007 vintage

The first bottle opened was very disappointing, despite have been opened and brought to temperature the wine was very harsh for a Reserva Rioja. Also the first glass had to be discarded as it was full of finings. I am glad that I bought this wine at a discounted price as I would have been even more disappointed. The Aldi Reserva. Rioja is a much better buy.

A delicious and uplifting wine! Just ordered some more, as I don't think my previous order will last until Christmas!

This review is for the 2007 vintage

This is a full-bodied, flavoursome wine which goes with everything.....and nothing. Always quaffable, unpretentious and warm. Friends choosing wine for their daughter's wedding spent a serious evening tasting wines. At my husband's suggestion, they tried this. In a 'blind' test, it won hands down.

Corked I am hoping the next 5 bottles are not the same here is hoping Sx

I have bought Lagunilla Reserve Rioja for a number of years now. This vintage is not a patch on the 2006. There is something lacking in the taste and it certainly does not show the length of a 'usual' Lagunilla reserve. Very disappointing.

We took a bottle with us when visiting relatives in London and they raved over it and said it was the best wine they had had for a while - and they are wine buffs and think that they only buy the best! So the fact that we got it at half price through Tesco was a bonus. We especially enjoy it with lamb.

I bought this on a recommendation and I have to say that I found it very disappointing, even at half price. There are much better wines for lower prices than this, I wish I hadn't bought it. Maybe the recommendation and earlier reviews referred to a different vintage. I can't believe any wine lover would recommend this one.

I ordered this wine online for the first time a few weeks ago and I shall certainly order it again. It has body and character and does not get overpowered by robust Mediterranean dishes. Come on, you know you want to. Indulge.

This review is for the 2007 vintage

I had purchased this wine before so knew it was going to be lovely, clean and fruity with no bad after taste. Ideal to drink with red meats or to give as a gift!

To me this is a Goldilocks wine. Its flavours are strong enough to come through with almost any food, without being overpowering. It's oakey without being overly so, and rich without being too tannic. Lovely blend of flavours - I'm no wine buff but even I can distinguish several and love to sip and savour. This has been my main wine for a couple of years and I never tire of it.

This review is for the 2006 vintage

This is one of the best wines I've had. Extremely smooth, fruity and full of body. Just slips down the throat so easily and drinkable on its own or with food. The 2007 vintage is definitely not a par on the 2006 one.

This review is for the 2007 vintage

Bought this having already enjoyed the 2006 vintage of this wine - well the old adage what a diffference a year makes stands here - the 2007 version if very disappointing by comparison - don't know how it was a bronze medal winner, they must have confused it woth the 2006 version. Definitely the 2007 is one to avoid if you can

very over rated very dissapointed far too many tanins this is the by far the worst rioja ive bought. I gave my boss a bottle to try and his oppinian was the same.Yes i de corked the wine for 2hrs to breath but still the same.

This wine is smooth and classy and is as good as wine that is several times the price. I shouldn't have said that, there will be a rush on it now.

Very tasty medium bodied good texture would recommend to friends and family value for money always keep an eye for this wine Lagunilla Reserva Rioja

I was tempted not to write a review about this Rioja as I love it, but felt I should share. As mentioned by the other reviewer is great on its own or with cheese. Stands up to be drunk with pretty much anything. The bottle is also good so also a nice present for anyone who likes Rioja. Started buying this a few Christmases ago (on recommendation) and always make sure I have some in at Christmas as it always goes down a treat.

great on its own or with cheese, full flavoured but not too heavy
