Rioja (Spanish) wines are so beautifully traditional, patiently aged, and designed to be enjoyed upon release. This Reserva from 2014 has well over the required 3 years of aging for its classification, and could now be considered a Gran Reserva, which requires at least 5 years. Classically prune-y and raisin-y, mouth-coating, and remarkably bright. There’s a satisfying wood-grain dustiness to it that reminds us how well Tempranillo wines like this take to age.
