Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2019 (6 Bottles) Rioja, Spain

Mate, this benchmark Reserva from old-vine Tempranillo on limestone soils captures 2019's concentration with 19 months in French oak and concrete settling for pure elegance. The Valenciso Rioja Reserva 2019 bursts with ripe dark plums, cherries, blackberry and balsamic depth, laced with violet, spice, graphite and subtle savoury herbs that build thrilling complexity. On the palate, juicy red and black fruits weave through fine-grained tannins, fresh acidity and refined oak for a structured, silky flow to a long, mineral finish.
