Villota Tinto, Rioja DOCa, Spain 2019 Russi Langhe spices and dark fruitDeep, lurid ruby. Mineral and smoke accented blackberry, cherry and tobacco scents pick up floral and vanilla accents with air. Sappy, expansive black and blue fruit and violet pastille flavors open up steadily, energized by a spicy topnote. Concentrated yet lively in style, with a smoky mineral quality that adds cut to the impressively long, floral and spice driven finish. 93 Pts Vinous
