The Wine Society, The Society's Exhibition Magnum, Rioja

Made for The Wine Society by La Rioja Alta, one of the region's most historic bodegas, founded in 1890, this is a classic, graceful Reserva that spends two years in cask and then time in bottle before release. Complex, silky and cedary, the textured palate has leathery spiced red fruit, refreshing acidity and fine tannins. Well integrated and long, and a fabulous buy in magnum.
