Obalo Bodegas Obalo Reserva 2017

Rich, powerful, and long-lasting wine

Intense and deep wine with a predominantly black fruit profile, even by a trace of ripe red fruit. The core of the wine is defined by herbaceous and spicy notes, at the same time a savory nuance emerges in the mid-palate. The wine is showing signs of development, with tertiary nuances and a undertone of savoury complexity. The linger is long and satisfying, with a soft and fruity body that is tempered by astringency. The wine is a good example of the Rioja Reserva style, with a medium ruby color and a rich, full-bodied texture. The aroma is marked by by ripe strawberry, black berry, blackcurrant, herb, clove, coffee, and a touch of meat and tobacco. The acidity is medium, with high tannin and high alcohol levels, giving the wine a full bodied and intense character. Overall, the wine is a well-balanced and enjoyable example of the Rioja Reserva style.

Luscious and detailed fruit experience, with the sweetness of ripe red fruit even by the mild warmth of tabacca and a suggestion of spicy undertones.
