The 2005 Reserva offers up an alluring nose of wood smoke, Asian spices,, incense, herbs, and blackberry. Plush on the palate with layers of savory fruit, this impeccably balanced offering conceals enough ripe tannin to evolve for another 5-7 years. It will be at its best from 2015 to 2030. Officially known as Bodegas Y Vinedos Granja Ntra. Sra. De Remelluri, but known to fans as simply Remelluri, this remains one of Rioja’s reference points.Importer: Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates from Spain, Dedham, MA; tel. (781) 461-5767
