2022 Rio Madre Rioja Graciano

91pts Vinous

 

"The 2022 Graciano Rio Madre, sourced from Alfaro in Rioja Oriental, aged for six months in used French oak barrels. This intense purple wine reveals aromas of ripe cherry and plums, accompanied by balsamic, candied fruit and hard candy notes. Dry with a medium body, the polished, supple tannins and mild acidity lead to a clingy, lasting texture. A flavorful red, the 2022 lingers with high extract."
