Baron De Ley Rioja Tinto Gran Reserva 2016

Colour

Medium ruby red with slight brick red hues, a very typical Rioja Gran Reservas.

Bouquet

Great aromatic intensity on the nose, less fruity, but with generous notes of lavender, ginger and saffron.

Flavour

Round and balanced palate, with silky tannins that are still fresh and lively. The aftertaste is long and persistent, with notes of toasted wood and dried fruit.

Pairing

This wine pairs well with a classic of Rioja cuisine, the 'Chuletillas al Sarmiento, i.e. milk-fed lamb chops grilled on dried vine shoots to achieve a unique and healthy smoky flavour. This wine can be slowly enjoyed by itself with Iberian cheeses or hams.
