Reserva 2016

Marqués de Tomares' centenarian wines epitomize traditional Rioja at its finest; they are bright, fruity, and perfectly balanced. Don Román Montaa established the winery Marqués de Tomares in 1910; his grandchildren now run the business and keep up the family legacy of growing grapes on the estate, which dates back to 1886. With over 106 hectares of vineyards, many of which are more than a century old and are held by a single family. Nose of barrel-influenced leather, spice, rustic char/graphite, and crusty bread. There's something garrigue-y going on here, even wild thyme. Creamy red fruit on the palate, moderate acidity, good grip, rustic tannins that have clearly been polished by time in bottle. This is a truly fine, sophisticated bottle of Rioja Reserva, devoid of coconut and anything obvious or anticipated.
