Tasting Notes
This Rioja Reserva opens with inviting aromas of ripe black cherry, dried plum, and a subtle waft of vanilla-tinged oak, hallmarks of its time in American and French barrique. On the palate, classic Tempranillo fruit mingles with leather, tobacco leaf, and a touch of earthy garrigue, showing the structured elegance typical of a well-aged Reserva. The finish is long and warming, with fine-grained tannins and a lingering note of cedar and dried spice.
