2020 | Bodegas Ramirez de la Piscina Reserva | Rioja Domaine de Marquiliani smokey wet stonesMore tannic and muscular than the current Crianza, the 2020 Reserva offers thick, densely concentrated layers of dark, smoky fruit, and oak, made from lower yielding tiny berries of Tempranillo. Expansive tannins coat the palate, adding medium bodied intensity. The wine was aged 18 months in barrel and nearly the same length of time in bottle. Theres a leathery garrigue type aspect to the finish that suggests it will continue to develop well 15 20
