Rioja Oxidative, Panoràmico O - 2015

This cuvée offers a rich and distinctive interpretation of Rioja’s great white wines. After three years of oxidative aging under a veil, the wine develops a deep golden color and a decidedly complex profile. The nose is intense, driven by candied fruit, dried fruit, and notes of sweet spices, with a subtle hint of botrytis that further accentuates the sensation of ripeness. The palate combines volume and saline tension, with a generous, almost glycerine-like texture, balanced by a subtle bitterness reminiscent of solera-style aging. The finish lingers at length on saline and spicy notes, with great persistence. La Vanguardia : 94/100
