Expert Review – Vintage 2018

Vinous 90 Points | The 2018 Reserva is a blend of Tempranillo with 15% Garnacha and Graciano from Rioja Alta, aged for 20 months in oak barrels. Exhibiting a garnet hue, the aromas are characterized by black fruit and hints of oak and herbs. Rich and bold with a medium body, the polished tannins and juicy flow lead to a savory finish.”

Wine Enthusiast 91 Points | Cassis and raisin aromas announce a fully ripe, warm-year reserva with enough acidic kick on the palate to ensure balance. Blackberry and baked plum flavors benefit from said acidity, while finishing notes of cured beef and baked berry fruits confirm that this a ripe-style Rioja. Drink through 2024. “
