The 2001 Oscar Tobia Reserva, from a great Rioja vintage, was in barrel for 18 months and offers additional complexity. There is plenty of toasty oak, earth, charcoal, and black cherry in the nose which is followed by a wine with all the material for several years of additional development. Drink it over the next 8-10 years.
