Bodegas Ontañón 2005 Reserva Tempranillo-Graciano (Rioja)

Country: Spain / Reserva Tempranillo-Graciano
Variety: Tempranillo Blend Northern Spain
Winery: Bodegas Ontañón / Rioja

Charred and oaky at first, the nose on this aged Rioja reserva also deals blueberry, lemon peel and spiced plum aromas. Tight, acidic and grabby on the palate, this is healthy but forced in feel. Flavors of briny oak, black currant and salt finish with bold acidity and choppiness. Drink through 2020.
