Izadi Reserva 2019

An outstanding Rioja Reserva that has some fine plushness from the oak. Dark chocolate, cedar, dark spices and a hint of truffle to the fresh blackberries. Juicy and dusty with very firm yet dusty tannins on the fine-grained and full-bodied palate. Long, structured and well-knit. Drink or hold. Score – 94. (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Sept. 18, 2023)
