Tempranillo grapes for this classic Rioja Reserva are cherry-picked from Torres' best terriors, then aged for 16 months in French oak and a further 20 months in bottle before release. It's drinking beautifully now, showing secondary, savoury characters of leather along with ripe red fruits and sweet oak spice.

Fragrant and suave, this is a very enticing modern style Rioja with great balance of fruit. Elegant tannins give the long finish some real complexity. Delicious now, but could age. – January 2018, James Suckling
