While I have enjoyed these Rioja at 100 articles, I am little confused that many of the tasting notes start with “Tasted blind” but go on to reference the winery and/or wine within the tasting note (and not in a way that suggests a guess). By way of examples (of which there are many), the tasting note for Marqués de Vargas, Hacienda Pradolagar Tempranillo/Mazuelo Viñedo Singular 2018 Rioja states “I have always been a strong supporter of the Vargas style…. A fabulous, haute-couture expression of Vargas” and the tasting note for Ortega Ezquerro, OE Tudelilla Garnacha Vino de Pueblo 2024 Rioja states “Tudelilla continues to establish itself as one of Spain’s most exciting villages for Garnacha.” Were the tasting notes written - or perhaps changed / added to - after the identities of the wines were revealed?
