Bodegas Borsao - Wine Enthusiast	Berola	2016	90	Nov-2020
Review “Ripe blackberry and black cherry aromas come with Christmas spice, fennel seed and nutmeg accents. This Garnacha-based red blend is big and sappy, as should be expected from Campo de Borja. Mildly woody black fruit flavors are roasted and warm, while this delivers on a spicy finish.” (Best Buy)
Bodegas Borsao - The Social NY	Tres Picos	2017		Sep-2020
Review “This very intense cherry red is a structured rich wine that evokes tastes of blackberry, plum and tones of leather and vanilla. Perfect for a wide variety of meals including BBQ, vegetables, lasagna and chili.”
Bodegas Borsao - Good Housekeeping	Borsao Garnacha	2018		Aug-2020
Review “Full bodied and spicy, this wine comes from Spain, and offers a great taste at a great price. It’s light and smooth with the perfect acidity. It’s best with beef, chicken, lamb, or pasta.” (#2 out of 20 Value Wines)
Bodegas Borsao - Wine Spectator	Berola	2016	91	Aug-2020
Review “This red is thick yet fresh, fruit-centered but with savory elements for balance. Blackberry, currant, licorice, cocoa and loamy earth flavors mingle over firm, well-integrated tannins, focused by balsamic acidity. In the modern style.”
Bodegas Borsao - Prevention	Viña Borgia Garnacha BIB 3L	N/V		Jul-2020
Review “Loads of rich berry and cherry aromas and flavors in this delightfully fruity Spanish Garnacha. A touch of pepper and licorice round out the palate. Thanks to its fresh profile, you could easily serve this slightly chilled on a hot day. All that gorgeous fruit means this wine would work equally well in a sangria.”
Bodegas Borsao - Wine Spectator Insider	Zarihs	2016	93	Jun-2020
Review “This red marries the ripe fruit and toasty oak of the international style with a savory, rustic character. A thick, polished texture, supported by well-integrated tannins and balsamic acidity, carries dark plum, black pepper, soy sauce and loamy earth flavors that are seamless and long.” (Value Pick of the Week)
Bodegas Borsao - John Mariani's Virtual Gourmet	Borsao Garnacha	2018		May-2020
Review “In the 1950s Spain’s struggling economy forced a number of small wine producers to form cooperatives to survive, of which Bodegas Borsao was one. Founded in 1958 and starting a small cooperative winery in northwestern Spain, about three hours north of Madrid, it now includes over 600 growers and offers some of the best wine bargains available. The wine is made from primarily Grenache blended with smaller amounts of Tempranillo and Syrah. It has a bouquet and taste of cherries and raspberries and a smooth, easy drinking taste that mates with most fare, especially beef and lamb and even hamburgers and hot dogs.”
Bodegas Borsao - Wine Advocate	Tres Picos	2018	89	Apr-2020
Review “I tasted two vintages from the flagship oaked Garnacha, the youngest of which was the 2018 Tres Picos Garnacha. But unfortunately, I found both vintages (this and the warmer 2017) to be overtly oaky, with aromas that masked the personality of the grape and gave them an international profile of toast, spice and smoke and a palate with similar flavors plus a bitter twist in the finish. I’d much rather drink the young unoaked Borsao Tinto Selección than this one. The technical data mentions that it spent about six months in new French oak and has 15% alcohol.”
Bodegas Borsao - Wine Advocate	Berola	2016	89	Apr-2020
Review “The red blend 2016 Berola contains mostly Garnacha and Syrah (not sure what the difference is with Bolé) with a similar profile as the rest of the portfolio, ripe red and black fruit somewhat dulled by the use of oak – in this case, 14 months in French and American oak barrels (70% and 30% respectively). It has more dark chocolate and vanilla aromas, but I still prefer the Bolé.”
Bodegas Borsao - Wine Advocate	Tres Picos	2017	88	Apr-2020
Review “The 2017 Tres Picos Garnacha has the disadvantage of a warmer and riper year and also from having lost the exuberance of the 2018 I tasted next to it. It’s less aromatic, and even if the élevage was slightly shortened, the palate seems to have suffered more from the effect of the new oak, which to me doesn’t really match the character of the floral and aromatic Garnacha. For fans of oaky, powerful reds.”
