Señorío de P. Peciña Reserva 2014

This graceful, elegant, old-school Rioja comes from three parcels in the Sonsierra, covering the Rioja Alta and Rioja Alavesa sub regions. Showing the freshness and restraint of an Atlantic vintage, it's floral, sweet and gamey, with some tobacco leaf and forest floor notes and a volatile lift. 2021-26.

The creamy 2014 Señorío de P. Peciña Reserva has abundant balsamic notes, hints of incense and cigar ash and plenty of spices and a smoky touch combined with candied fruit and a sharp mouthfeel, like the élevage of three years in used American oak barrels was a bit rough with the more delicate fruit from 2014. 42,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2018. It's ready now, and it's not a Reserva for the very long haul. - Luis Gutiérrez.
