"Dark cherries, vanilla, resin, bark and tea leaves. Full body, muscular but really compact tannins and wonderful purity of fruit. The finish is long and very chewy, but the transparency is undeniable. Punchy acidity and driven." 

"The darker and more powerful 2015 Reserva shows the style of the vintage, which is riper and warmer but has produced quite balanced wines. It has a modern and clean style, with some creamy, spicy and smoky notes that seem to be part of the house style. It comes through as balsamic and has notes of incense and cigar ash, and it's fruit-driven, with aromas of dark berries and a touch of forest floor. The palate is medium to full-bodied with fruit and some tannins and finishes dry and clean, with good precision and length." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"Medium-high intensity; garnet-red with a marked pink rim; clean and bright. Intense aromas, with notes of dark fruit (blackcurrants, blackberries and damson plums) merging with a friendly, intense bouquet of cloves, white pepper, liquorice and cedar. Very big in the mouth, fresh and well-balanced with marked polished tannins leading to an ample, long-lasting aftertaste. Torre de Oña once again showcases the typicity of a unique Rioja Alavesa terroir."
