Bodegas Manzanos, Gold Label, Reserva, DOCa Rioja, Spain

This is a powerful and fantastically structured Rioja Reserva. There are ever-evolving smoky and spicy aromas, as well as fruits of the forests, prune, black cherry, chocolate and subtle hints of coconut. The palate is soft with smooth tannins and medium intensity with long lingering flavours of earthy black peppercorns and a fresh finish
