Served without seeing the bottle, you'd be in no doubt that this was Rioja. It's plummy and very smooth, with oak spice of cinnamon and a hint of vanilla. The palate is well balanced, with a lovely weight. Delicious already, it will last for years and years.
The 2010 Reserva Selección Especial is always the most food-oriented of their reds, a blend similar to the one found in the Reserva, 65% Tempranillo with some 20% Garnacha, 10% Graciano and 5% Mazuelo, but here the grapes are sourced from older vineyards in higher-altitude terraces where there are poorer soils and the grapes have an extra degree of freshness...The palate is medium-bodied with grainy tannins that would benefit from some more time in bottle and have a long life ahead. There is very good acidity and fine balance. It's a wine that is perfect for the table. A great Selección Especial.
