| Review: |
"The 2013 Rioja “Reserva” from Bodegas Peciña is a beautifully classic and perfumed example of old school Rioja, offering up a gorgeous bouquet of raspberries, cherries, cloves, salty soil tones, a touch of spiced meats, sweet cigar smoke and a nice framing of American oak. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and spicy, with a lovely core of fruit, superb soil signature, tangy acids, suave, moderate tannins and a long, focused and very complex finish. Though this wine is now eight years of age, it is still a puppy and has decades and decades of life ahead of it, so despite it being already extremely tasty, it will be even better if tucked away in the cellar for at least another decade! Fine, fine juice." |
