Señorío de P. Peciña Tinto Gran Reserva 2009

The creamy, spicy and smoky 2009 Señorío de P. Peciña Gran Reserva was produced following the classical way, aging it in used American oak barrels for a long time (48 months) instead of what they do in their Chobeo range, where the wines mature in new oak for a short time. This has the textbook aromas of classical Rioja in a warm and ripe year—graphite, forest floor, truffles, sweet spices and berries in liqueur. The palate is medium to full-bodied with some dusty tannins and good acidity that would welcome some food. 15,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2013.

Developed characters of tar and fine oak envelope this fine example of Rioja in a shroud of complexity. It is slightly oxidative and bursting with flavour, with a lift of alcohol on the finish.
