Baron De Ley Rioja Reserva 2020 75cl - RV Drinks

Twenty months maturing in American oak barrels followed by twenty-four months in bottle produces this clean, bright Reserva, a vintage widely praised as even more impressive than the acclaimed 2018 that preceded it. Intense aromas of red fruits like cherries and raspberries dominate the nose alongside coconut, toffee and a hint of wild herbs, developing into a robust, full-bodied palate with a smooth texture and prolonged, creamy finish, closing with red berry fruit mingled with wild herbs that reflects the wine's impeccable structure and balanced concentration.
