Barón de Barbón Reserva 1999
Barón de Barbón is "arguably the greatest Rioja on sale in the UK" (Will Lyons, Scotland on Sunday)
100% Tempranillo, hand-harvested from 35-year-old vines in Rioja's premium Alavesa area... Reserva of this quality and age is now rare indeed - largely because it's an expensive style to make and cellar.
However this doesn't deter father and son team, Javier and Julian Muriel, from bringing you the very best from the region... at a very appealing price! With such care and attention, its no wonder Barón de Barbón is so popular.
"Dark cherry colour, rich red fruit aromas and an elegantly smooth mouthful of ripe cherries, caramel, leather and spice. A treat!"
