Puerta Vieja Reserva Rioja 75cl - Spanish Red Wine

Puerta Vieja, your door to Rioja.  A wine with a classic, versatile and easy-to-drink air. A wine with an insinuating garnet red colour with ruby hues. On the nose, the aromas of ripe black fruit and licorice unfold, perfectly balanced with the toasted, spicy and balsamic notes that come from its stay in the barrel and give it great complexity. On the palate it is expressive, fresh and elegant. With several sensitive layers, fruity, spicy, with wood, complex, which offers a fine palate, with moderate tannins and a juicy mid palate. A pure varietal that shows the typicity of the grape and the elegance of its landscapes.

Tasting notes
Highly representative of classic Rioja Alta wines. Ruby red with a tawny rim, brilliant. Elegant on the nose, well-blended aromas with hints of wood ageing and varietal notes. Very fine and well-structured in the mounth, with good acidity and polished tannins, very well balanced. Complex retronasal fragrance, both delicate and persistent. Good development in the bottle.
