2018 Bodegas Olarra Cerro Añon Reserva, Rioja, Spain

This generous red reveals a seamless medley of plum, dried cherry, licorice, dried herbs, and spice, lifted by firm yet delicate tannins and a touch of orange-peel acidity. The palate is rounded and well-structured, shaped by its extended maturation in bottle. It remains vibrant and elegant, carrying through to a lingering, spicy finish.
