Bodegas Montecillo, Reserva, Rioja, Spain 2017

An elegant Reserva, with intensity and concentration offset by focused, linear tannins and savoury freshness. A bed of dried cranberries, poached cherries and plums is covered by a fine layer of olive tapenade and prune paste. All sprinkled with dried Mediterranean herbs. Well presented tannins, assertive and pleasantly savoury. Spicy nuances of nutmeg and cardamom.
