Bordón Gran Reserva 2013

If you like classical Rioja, this gran reserva may make you smile. Fully mature, it isn’t a wine to keep but to enjoy over the coming year or two for its nuanced flavors that touch on blue fruit, yellow nectarines and green shishito peppers. The texture is rich and lively, a friendly Rioja that gains gravity and length with a day of air. Score – 92. (wineandspiritsmagazine.com, Feb. 2023)
