Ysios’ Reserva from 2011 is a brilliant example of a modern Rioja, exhibiting exceptional fruit purity and freshness despite its advanced age. The oak spice is prominent but in context, complementing the impressive fruit without dominating it. The tannins are sweet and supple, and the finish shows elegance and exceptional length. Drink or lay down for at least ten years. A Platinum award-winner at the 2017 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
