Bodegas Izadi Rioja Reserva 2018 Bottle

The 2018 Reserva, is a blend of Tempranillo with 9% Graciano, still feels quite oaky after 15 months in French and American oak barrels, half of each. It has good ripeness for a cooler vintage, at 14.1% alcohol, and has a creamy mouthfeel with tannins and plenty of oak-related flavours on the finish. It is quite oaky, but well integrated with lovely fruit, quite smooth and long. Delicious!
