Fruit and complexity fit together to perfection in a wine which we could well designate as the Reserva of the 21st Century. It’s produced primarily from Tempranillo grapes sourced from vineyards which the Barón de Ley winery owns in Mendavia. It’s ageing for 20 months in new American oak barrels, plus a further 24 months of rest in bottle, endow it with its aromatic and gustatory fullness. A veritable treat for the palate and, it must be said, very good value too.
