ONTANON Rioja 'Reserva' 2005

The 2005 'Reserva' by Ontanon is a classy effort from a great vintage. Showing extended age, this '05 Reserva opens with aromatics reminiscent of red cherry, dill, spicecake, black plum and anise. There are smooth flavors of red cherry, cranberry, Tangerine rind, and leather. This silky wine glides on the palate and shows the great aging potential of this excellent Reserva bottling. There is a seamless quality to this medium weight Rioja that makes it hard to resist. The tangy, red fruit and acid driven finish brings you back to the glass. This wine impresses for the price.(Best 2016-2028) - July, 2016 (OB)
