Oscar Tobia, Rioja Reserva, 2018

Intense and elegant stream of aromas first showing fruits such as dried prunes, cherries and liquorice. Then spicy notes like black pepper, cloves and cedar tree arise over a fragrant background of toffee and smoky hints. Complex nose with mineral notes and very well integrated oak. On the palate it is gentle, velvety, and voluminous. Meaty, rounded full bodied and unctuous. Rounded feeling in the mouth. Ripe with a long and lingering finish. Very polished tannins with highly spicy aftertaste.
