2019 Rioja Reserva, Bodegas Ondarre BH lime and pear on theDeep ruby in the glass, this Rioja Reserva opens with aromas of ripe cherry, blackberry, and dried fig, layered with cedar, leather, and warm spice. The palate is smooth and structured with juicy dark fruit balanced by savoury tobacco and vanilla, framed by fine tannins and a long, elegant finish. Classic Rioja in its most reassuring form: polished, poised, and quietly powerful. For when: you want a wine that feels like a safe pair of hands. Pairs
