2011 Ontañón Gran Reserva Rioja

Beautifully developed Rioja with aromas of dark fruit, spice, tobacco and mocha, accented with wild herb notes. The palate shows complexity and structure with layers of black fruit, spice and toasty oak. The finish is long and persistent, with the purity and brightness of fruit conveying real elegance. The wine spends 36 months in a mixture of American and French oak, and 24 months in bottle prior to release.
