Baron de Ley Rioja Reserva 2018 Rated 92JS

James Suckling Review
Rated 92
Real elegance here, with some vanilla, sweet spices, tobacco, plums and dark cherries on the nose. This is juicy, with lots of berries on the medium-bodied palate, following through to a tight, slightly chewy finish that will melt down in a year or two. Drinkable now, but better in 2024.

Wine Tasting Notes
Baron de Ley Rioja Reserva shows an attractive red ruby color with medium-high intensity, in the nose it suprises for a powerful fruit remarkably blended with traces from its noble ageing: coconut and toffee, evolving into seductive nuances of spices and mediterranean bush. The attack is truly powerful and develops in the mouth a pleasant sensation of volume and onctuosity with drives us to a long finish, nervous and fresh due to its optimum acidity, and bringing back an aftertaste with red fruits and again mediterranean bushes.
