Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The more harmonious and drinkable of the reds I tasted is the 2019 El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto, the second estate vin in the Bordeaux sense. It has an attractive nose of wild berries, herbs and spices with integrated oak despite the palate showing more tannins that would welcome more time and/or powerful food. It's clean and modern, with 14.1% alcohol. It was produced with a blend of 92% Tempranillo, 9% Garnacha and 2% Graciano. 133,000 bottles and 8,000 magnums produced. It was bottled in January 2022.

Description
Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto is a wine made from a blend of Tempranillo, Garnacha, Maturana Blanca and Graciano grape varieties, typical of the Rioja Alavesa. The result is a red wine with great personality, smooth and easy to drink.
The Hermanos Hernáiz winery is located near the province of Burgos and each of the products it produces is protected under the D. O. Ca. Rioja. Moreover, the vineyards from which the fruit is extracted are exposed to a continental-Mediterranean climate, as well as chalky and clay soils, the perfect environment for the grapes to develop their organoleptic capacities to the maximum!
Winemaking
The grapes are harvested by hand and the vinification materials used are stainless steel tanks and concrete eggs. The malolactic fermentation process is followed by an ageing period of one year in French and American oak barrels.
Taste
The aroma is reminiscent of ripe fruit, while the taste is characteristically spicy, with a slight hint of red and black berries. The palate is robust, with good body and well-developed tannins. It has a long and pleasant finish.
The great taste of La Rioja
El Jardín de la Emperatriz Tinto combines in a unique and harmonious way the Rioja tradition with the careful method of the Bordeaux Médoc. It is a well-developed wine that will satisfy even the most demanding connoisseurs.
