Today, it's a Tempranillo tap dance! 2010 Baron de Ley Reserva is a beautiful Rioja from Spain. It's aged 20 months in America oak casks and then a further 24 months in the bottle before it's released.
Tasting Notes:
Full bodied and dark ruby in color and a fleshy texture and long finish. Tobacco and plum rind on the nose with a remarkable rich red fruit, tar and volcanic rock flavors. A very nice minerality of sorts.
Final thoughts: This Rioja is quite delicious and well balanced, though I believe a little more time will add to the complexities and smoothen out a bit more. It's very good now and has a possibility of becoming great.
