Valenciso Rioja 10 Years Limited Edition In Wood 2015 (750ml) *

Extended time in barrel shapes this Tempranillo from Rioja, a wine Valenciso built around patience: their 2015 release rests through a decade of oak and bottle before it reaches you. Rioja at this level tends toward savory, dried-fruit complexity rather than primary jamminess, with tannins softened and integrated by the long slumber in wood. This is the traditional Rioja idea taken to its unhurried conclusion, a red meant to arrive already resolved.
