Cherry red with ruby highlights. Complex, fine aromas. Round and well balanced on the palate, as a result of its long period in the bottle.
2012 Vintage Scores:
This Rioja reserva hits all the standard checkpoints with aplomb. Earthy loamy mossy aromas of plum and berry fruits feature a hint of tobacco and vanilla. In the mouth, this is full, with round but serious tannins. Tea, wild herb, black plum and berry flavors finish with savory soupy notes and prodding tannins. Drink through 2022.

Staff Review: A fun red from Spain. Ripe berry fruit with a nice acidity. Lingering notes of wood and tobacco. Perfect for meat or by the fire pit.
