Vinsacro Dioro Seleccion Rioja
Bodegas Escudero
Spain - Rioja - Rioja

Intense cherry red color. Very expressive on the nose with aromas of good ripeness, balsamic nuances, mineral notes and a very elegant vanilla background. Tasty and full-bodied on the palate, ripe and rounded tannins with a complex and pleasant finish that invites you to order another glass.

2019 Vinsacro Dioro Seleccion Rioja - 94 PTS - VINOUS

vinous logo"The 2019 Vinsacro Dioro Selección is a Vidau field blend sourced from Monte Yerga in Rioja Oriental. Aged for 18 months in French and Eastern European oak barrels, it is only released after five years in the cellar. Dark garnet in color, time in the glass reveals soy sauce, bay leaf and thyme notes, along with black fruit and chutney-like undertones. Dry and rich on the palate, it flows with softened tannins and a clingy mouthfeel, lingering long with an impression of tomato leaf. This is a complex, nuanced and solar red that will warmly captivate your palate. - Joaquin HIDALGO"
