The Rioja Reserva Red 2010 is exceptional in more ways than one. With its very long maturation, this blend dominated by the tempranillo grape variety is incredibly youthful, with a lot of freshness on the nose, around notes of cedar and blood orange. The tannins are delicate, incredibly smooth and chiseled. A wine to pair with a shoulder of lamb confit or a tender pork chop. Rated 93/100 by our Selection Committee. |
