2012 | Bodegas Riojanas Albina Essencia Reserva | Rioja Domaine de la Bêche sweet tobacco and sandalwood are

sweet tobacco and sandalwood are tantalizing

Aromas of the sweetness of citrus

solid in structure

So classic and soft on the palate with great length

as they keep part of the wine unoaked and in stainless steel

2012 | Bodegas Riojanas Albina Essencia Reserva | Rioja Domaine de la Bêche sweet tobacco and sandalwood areThe scent of blackberry, cassis, vanilla and licorice emanates from the glass. This profound and complex wine is full on the palate, offering flavors of wild red and black berries, milk chocolate, licorice, clove and hints of leather and dried Mediterranean herbs wrapped up in a layer of powerful tannins that slowly peel away to reveal a closing note of fennel bulb.
