This exceptional Reserva from mature Tempranillo and Graciano vines has the concentration, complexity and balance of a Gran Reserva. Brambly fruit combines with spicy Graciano accents, which rise above the deep, rich nuances of dark chocolate, cedar, date and fig. Supremely delicious - one small sip delivers an enveloping charge of flavour, with plushy, luxurious tannins, creamy richness and exquisite balance and elegance. Irresistible now, the wine will have no difficulty cellaring a few years, although you might have difficulty restraining yourself from drinking it.

Winemaking
From a vineyard at San Vicente de la Sonsierra, planted with approximately 97% Tempranillo and 3% Graciano. Matured 24 months in 60% French and 40% American oak barrels, of which 30% were first-fill. The predominance of both seasoned and French oak means that the barrels do not overwhelm the fruit, while helping round out the texture.
Press Review
95/100 - From a year when the producer lost 20% of its grapes, the 2020 Reserva Unica overcomes the adversity of the vintage in its delicate, finessed profile that belies an inherent power of concentrated black fruit. With 2% Graciano, it has precise acidity and is plenty powerful yet supple in tannins and rich red fruit. Beautifully balanced, it shows profound elegance and will be a long-lived wine for another 15-20 years. Drink 2025-2045
Press Review
93/100 - A fruit-conscious Rioja reserva with flowers, plums and bramble berries. Rich and deep, with restrained oak spices and a touch of minerals. Excellent fruit quality, with fine-grained tannins and a long, bright finish. Drink or hold.
