Jesús Madrazo Rioja Selección 2019

Ruby red with a medium-high depth. Intense nose with mineral and balsamic hints, graphite and menthol. A fruity plum character and some floral notes too. It is fresh on the palate with a long acidity that gives tension to the wine, noble tannins yet to soften, and a balanced long, fruity finish. Consumption at its “peak”: 2024 to 2035. It will pair very well with dishes of grilled and roast vegetables and meats, especially suckling pig & lamb, a good Madrid stew, such as Maragato and Montañés or a tasty Asturian Stew. 2019 Jesús Madrazo Selección Rioja is one of my best vintages so far! Salud!
