About Campo Viejo Reserva Rioja Tempranillo 2018 750ML
The nose opens with inviting aromas of ripe black cherry, dried plum, and a signature whisper of vanilla and toasted oak from its time in American and French oak barrels. On the palate, classic Tempranillo character shines through with layers of dark fruit, leather, and warm spice, underpinned by well-integrated tannins and a touch of earthy complexity. The finish is long and graceful, with lingering notes of cedar, cocoa, and dried herbs that speak to the wine's Reserva-level maturity.
