Izadi Reserva Rioja 2018 (750ML)

91 Points, Luis Gutiérrez, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2018 Reserva, a blend of Tempranillo with 9% Graciano, still feels quite oaky after 15 months in French and American oak barrels, half of each. It has good ripeness for a cooler vintage, at 14.1% alcohol, and has a creamy mouthfeel with tannins and plenty of oak-related flavors in the finish. For fans of oaky modern Rioja. 142,217 bottles and 1,000 magnums. It was bottled in July 2020." 07/22

93 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Aromas of ripe plums and blueberries with hints of blue flowers, licorice and dried herbs. Medium-to full-bodied with plush tannins and savory fruit character. Polished and structured, with notes of chocolate and minerals to close. Drink of hold." 09/22
