2017 Cune Reserva, Rioja, Spain

High aromatic intensity, where aromas of berries and licorice are recognized and joined with those from its aging in barrels such as spices, vanilla and anise notes. The palate is smooth due to well-integrated tannin that gives elegance and length for a fruity and balsamic aftertaste. Aromas of blackberries and cherries with flowers and orange peel. It’s full-bodied, layered and powerful with chewy tannins that are polished and intense. Needs air to soften but drinkable now.
