"Sensational, Bozeto 2013 is a blend of Grenache, Tempranillo and Graciano (a singular blend for Rioja), from an organic vineyard planted in 1980. Aged in French oak barrels for nine months, it offers beautiful notes of black cherry and blackcurrant mixed with aromas of strawberry jam, cedar wood and graphite. Medium to full-bodied, loaded with fruit and nuances of spice box and tobacco, this is a rich, round wine with an opulent mouthfeel. A superb, fleshy, fruity red". (Wine Advocate - Robert Parker)

Wine rated (2016 guide) 15/20 (Very good wine)
About the wine:
In a rather modern style for the appellation, this Rioja retains a pretty floral bouquet with a peppery note on the finish and stewed fruit. A perfect wine for stewed meats.
