NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
This Bodegas Urbina Selección is a deep, concentrated red wine with aromas of blackberry, plum, leather, and spice.On the palate, it is full-bodied and powerful, with ripe tannins and an intense, structured finish. Its dark fruit flavors are well balanced by hints of vanilla and smoky oak. Enjoy this robust Rioja now or cellar it for a few more years to allow the complexity of its flavors to fully develop.
