Heras Cordón Reserva 2016

Why don’t more people sing the praises of these very impressive wines? It beats me. This is another superb release, made from bush vine Tempranillo with 5% each of Mazuelo and Graciano, and showing the density, concentration and balance that are features of the Heras Cordón style. Spicy, complex and very long on the palate. Drink date: 2021-2035. Score – 95. (Tim Atkin, MW, timatkin.com, Rioja Special Report 2019)
