James Suckling - July 26, 2019 - Luis Cañas Rioja Reserva 2013 - 91/100
The plush nose here trades in dark-cherry compote, dark chocolate and Chinese spices. Full body, rich and velvety tannins and a chewy finish. Drink in 2023.

Vinous - Feb 2019 - Josh Raynolds - 2013 Bodegas Luis Cañas Reserva - 91/100 - 2019-2025 - $27.00 
Aged for 18 months in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels, all new. Limpid ruby. Expressive red and dark berry preserve aromas, along with suggestions of vanilla, cola and roasted coffee. Round, sweet and open-knit, offering juicy raspberry and cherry-vanilla flavors that firm up steadily on the back half. Dusty tannins add grip to a long, focused finish that leaves bitter cherry and dark chocolate notes behind.
