Rioja Reserva 2020
- 90 points -
The spicy and smoky 2020 Reserva was produced with a blend of Tempranillo with 9% Graciano and feels quite oaky after 16 months in 50/50 French and American oak barrels. It has ripeness, 14.55% alcohol, and a creamy touch, with abundant tannins and plenty of oak-related flavors.
About Wine Advocate
The Wine Advocate was a bi-monthly publication and Robert Parker Wine Advocate continues this tradition, although articles and reviews are now published every week. The main goal is to publish regionally focused reports, which mainly offer wine reviews of new wine releases, but they also produce important vintage retrospectives and occasionally single-label verticals and producer profiles. Since 2019, Robert Parker Wine Advocate has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Michelin Group.
