, rated 90/100 by Robert Parker across the last three vintages.
The initials “B.B.” —standing for “Big Bang”—sum up this cuvée quite well. A true little gem offering exceptional value for the price, this Rioja is the creation of a Frenchman, Tom Puyaubert, who has been living in Spain for 10 years. A wine that truly reflects the power 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 bomb…”
