3.2/5 (35 customers)

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