Licenciado Reserva 2012

Bright nearly opaque medium violet color. Bright, fruity aromas and flavors of boysenberry tart a la mode and mocha gelato with an vibrant, dryish medium-full body and a tingling, intriguing, medium-length spiced cherries, toffee, and cedar finish with fine, chewy tannins and moderate oak. A fantastically flavorful, supple, and vibrant Rioja. Exceptional. Cellar Selection. Score - 95. (tastings.com, March 31, 2016)
