The 2018 Viña Alberdi Reserva is a Tempranillo of seamless integration and elegance, masterfully crafted by one of the old guards of Rioja. It descends on the palate with flavors of raspberry, dried black cherry, and black currants alongside notes of mocha, olive tapenade, and dried oregano. The wine is deep, dense, and structured, with ample yet luxuriously textured tannins that amble toward a lengthy finish. It will undoubtedly flourish for several years to come.
