Criadores de Rioja Rioja Alegro Gran Reserva

Great at POP but lost body fairly quickly in the glass.

Very savoury at first, when served from a rather cold bottle. After it warms up it’s much more approachable. Modern but not obviously so. More like a reserva than OTT oaked Gran Reserva. Overall a good effort, though not particularly exciting. Perhaps it will gain with another decade. 13.5%, cork.
