BodegasBenitoUrbina,GranReservaEspecialRioja2004

A fantastic example of mature Rioja from the vintage 2004. Definitely decant and expect complex aromas of soft leather, sweet spice and red fruit, a whiff of mushroom and dried tea leaf and a balsamic note with beautifully integrated fruit and oak on the palate, fresh acidity and a silky texture.

Pair with slow cooked milk fed lamb – cordero lechal – the local favourite, or beef wellington.
