Lobenberg: Wie schön, dass ich 2016 nochmal direkt auf dem Weingut war, den Cubillo habe ich zuvor von der Papierform immer geschnitten. Zu Unrecht! Schon dieser Einstiegswein zeigt neben traumhafter Reife eine enorm vibrierende frische Säure und geniale, weiche rote reife Frucht. Das ist süffiger Stoff und zugleich verträumt dahinschwebend. 93/100

Suckling über: Vina Cubillo Tinto Crianza

-- Suckling: Wonderful aromas of mushrooms, bark, cigar tobacco and plums with just a hint of citrus. Full-bodied with incredible softness and complexity. Subtle chocolate, fruit and walnut in the aftertaste. Goes on for minutes. Fantastic wine. Classic, textbook Rioja. A joy. Incredible value! Drink or hold. 95/100

Parker über: Vina Cubillo Tinto Crianza

-- Parker: I was quite impressed by the 2012 Viña Cubillo Tinto Crianza, a classical Rioja that is nicely crafted, with less aging in barrel than the rest of reds and therefore with more fruit character and less López de Heredia signature. This was born as a red for tapas, a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacho and 5% each Graciano and Mazuelo with 13.5% alcohol. It matured in well-seasoned American oak barrels for three years. It has ripe fruit (black rather than red) without excess and a pinch of spices and a twist of oak. 94,500 bottles produced. There are seven lots of this. I tasted a bottled that was filled in May 2018. 93/100
