Tasted by: Tina Gellie
(at Aldi Autumn/Winter tasting, 04 Sep 2018)
A beautiful Rioja Reserva from an impeccable producer whose history dates from 1890. It shows maturing, leathery strawberry fruit, deep mocha tones and sweet vanilla oak spice from 24 months in American oak, 50% new. Supple, savoury and meaty, this will develop further.
