Bodegas Riojanas Vina Albina Reserva 2006

Cherry and rhubarb on the nose, with pipe tobacco, coconut and a thread of vanilla, the hallmarks of thirty months in American oak. Broad and generously proportioned, with soft, well-knit tannins and lively red fruit carrying through to a long, gently smoky finish. A traditionally built Rioja Reserva, drinking well now.
