Viña Otano Rioja Reserva

Details

“The 2016 Rioja “Reserva” from Viña Otano is aged in a combination of French and American oak barrels for eighteen months prior to bottling and an additional two and a half years in the bottle prior to release. The wine’s aromatic constellation is quite lovely today, wafting from the glass in a mix of red and black raspberries, Rioja spices, cigar smoke, celery seed, a fine base of soil, a hint of lavender and cedary oak. On the palate the wine is full- bodied, focused and complex, with a fine core of fruit, good soil signature, moderate tannins and fine focus and balance on the long and promising finish.” 91 points; View from the Cellar; John Gilman - Issue #103 January/February 2023.
