Lots of earth and mineral on the nose. Tobacco. Dark fruit
On the palate there is tobacco, ripe Plum, and black cherry. Velevety mouthfeel with some tight tannins on the finish. Good acidity. Very well balanced. Lovely reserva. It’s been a while since I’ve had a Rioja. This was a nice welcome back.
