2019 Reserva Seleccion Especial Rioja D.O.Ca.

Ausbau: 26 Monate im Barrique plus 18 Monate Flaschenreife.
70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha, 10% Graziano und Mazuelo.

Großer Rioja-Klassiker.
Sehr dunkle, fast schwarze Farbe.
Aus dem Glas strömen ein komplexer Duft ach Kräutern, Kirschen und reifen roten Beeren. Kaffee- und Röstaromen verleihen dem Wein seinen einzigartin Charakter.
Am Gaumen kräftig aber elegant mit seidigen Tanninen und einer wunderbar integrierten Säureader, die für die nötige Frische sorgt.
Passt ideal zum Sonntagsbraten oder zu Grillgut.

Parker:
"The subtle and harmonious 2019 Selección Especial reflects a very complete and good vintage. It has to be one of the finest vintages for this wine. 2019 is a powerful vintage with balance and freshness. The grapes ripened thoroughly and developed a full set of aromas and flavors. It's complex and nuanced, with abundant, fine-grained tannins and a long, dry and tasty finish. Selección applies to the vineyards but also the barrels and everything that contributes to this wine; it's not only a selection of lots, which was the case before the 1994 vintage. 274,992 bottles produced. It was bottled between April and June 2022 after 26 months in barrel." 95 Punkte

Suckling:
"Fresh and demure nose with lots of cocoa powder, blackcurrants, blackberries and a hint of cigar and charcoal. Excellent depth and class here with a very juicy center palate. Medium to full body with a long and layered finish." 95 Punkte
