Finca Nueva Rioja Reserva 2010

The nose is superbly complex, with black fruit, fresh and mature, leather and animal hints, the palate has lovely layers of fruit and spice, hints of cocoa and an endless elegant length.

The 2010 Reserva is a varietal Tempranillo aged for two years in French oak barrels. 2010 was a very balanced vintage and the wine has reached a level of complexity and depth  had never seen before in this range. There are balsamic aromas of incense and cigar box, intermixed with ripe black cherries and a touch of liqueur. The palate is polished and sleek, with polished, elegant tannins and very balanced acidity. It feels compact and solid.
