Bodegas Remelluri, Reserva Rioja, Rioja Spain 2006

Remelluri are rightly renowned as one of the finest producers in the Rioja region and it's easy to see why. This is a finely crafted, elegant style with great structure and complexity. The nose is warm and inviting with hints of wild strawberry and spice, overlaid with light wood notes. The palate is silky smooth, mellow and warm with savoury, ripe berry fruit, touches of tobacco and a little spice.
