Tasting note

Rioja Tempranillo should bring red cherry, ripe plum and dried herbs, with warm spice rounding the aroma. The 2012 Ysios Reserva is expected to have a smooth, layered palate, supple tannins lending texture while lively acidity keeps the fruit fresh and focused. Its listed peak extends through 2029 within a window to 2035; a savory finish should gradually reveal dried berry, cedar-like spice and earthy notes.
