Bodegas Ramirez de la Piscina Reserva, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2019 Aux Origines caramel and earthy tonesThe 2019 Reserva is a Tempranillo sourced from San Vicente de la Sonsierra and Abalos, Rioja Alta. Aged for 18 months in used American and French barrels, this dark garnet wine delivers notes of blackberry, plum, bay leaf and mint, accompanied by hints of nutmeg and coconut. Dry and fairly creamy, with a juicy flow, the fine tannins and chalky mouthfeel lead to a medium bodied finish. 92 Pts Vinous
