Riojanas 2016 Rioja Monte Real Reserva 750ml

Ripe berry, vanilla and dried cheese aromas are moderately complex and true to traditional Rioja. A full, fleshy palate is balanced by red fruit acidity, while plum, berry and oak flavors are ripe to the point that you can find a touch of raisin if you dig deep. A warm, fully ripe finish is par for the course. Drink through 2024.
