Country: Spain / Baron de Chirel Reserva
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Marqués de Riscal / Rioja
This deep, smoky, minerally wonder is full to the brim with ripe blackberry, tobacco and fine-oak aromas. In the mouth, this Tempranillo-led blend is rich and jammy but not out of shape. Blackberry, prune and toasty flavors finish lusty, with a touch of heat and burn that should settle in due time. Drink now through 2023.
