Mauleon Rioja Reserva 2013

90 Points Tim Atkin

Surprisingly clear ruby color evolving towards brick red, with

mahogany-like highlights.

Its basic aroma is reminiscent of ripe fruit. When opened, it

spreads and evolves towards heavy and exquisite vanilla

tones subtly reminiscent of wood. Pleasant roasted touches

of nuts, cinnamon and liquorice.

To the mouth, it is unexpectedly sweet and gentle, with

exquisite sensations reminiscent of its aromas. This wine

evolves in the bottle and is well-balanced and forceful in its

sensations.
