Rating: 3.2 (35 reviews)

Rioja|Red wine

3.2/5 (35 customers)

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