Depth and poise define this 2013 El Puntido Gran Reserva, layering liqueur-like cherry and baked blackberry fruit with notes of sweet tobacco, soft spice, coffee and forest floor. The palate is sleek yet firm, with fine, persistent tannins and vibrant acidity giving it a long, resonant finish that shows how impressively this wine rose above a cool, rainy vintage. A classical, ageworthy Rioja that balances savory complexity with concentrated, polished fruit.
Roast lamb with rosemary, confit duck with spiced red wine reduction, aged Manchego or Idiazabal cheese
