Familia Chavarri Larchago Reserva 2016

"Intense black-cherry color with good depth of color and hardly any signs of evolution. Very expressive aromas on the nose with notes of licorice, cinnamon and black pepper, with just a subtle hint of the long cask-ageing, thanks to its great complexity and ripe, concentrated fruit. Fresh and easy to drink on the palate, good backbone and lovely, polished tannins. The long, persistent finish leaves gentle balsamic reminders of the finest quality." —winemaker

"Intense deep red-garnet with a ruby trim. In the nose is intense with black ripe fruit, fig and a touch of raisins all mixed with intense spicy and smoky notes. In the palate is harmonious, balanced with gentle tannins that allowed for a long aftertaste that strengthens the ripe fruit and spices aromas." —winemaker

"Crafted from a selection of the best Tempranillo grapes in Rioja, this Reserva benefits from 18 months of aging in oak casks that provides great complexity with pronounced notes of ripe fruit, cocoa and well-balanced acidity. A great choice to pair with beef and other hearty meat dishes." —winemaker

"Aromas of ripe fruit, licorice and vanilla paired with a balanced palate and sweet and fruity aftertaste." —winemaker

"Bright, deep ruby color with dark cherry hues on the rim of the glass. It stands out for its intensity, with red fruit aromas (strawberries, raspberries, redcurrant and cherry) leading to elegant notes of vanilla, toffee, coffee cream, cinnamon, brioche and hazelnuts. The balance between acidity and alcohol stands out on the palate, with soft, sweet, rounded tannins and a pleasant final sensation." —winemaker

"Dark and dense ruby colour. Refined and complex aroma with a touch of cherry, vanilla and soft toasted notes. Balanced in the mouth, where the silky and well-defined tannins are combined with exquisite flavours to reveal a pleasant fullness." —winemaker

"A vivid purple colour, intensely fruity nose with nuances of aromatic herbs, this wine shows off its young character, as well as a refined mouthfeel and deep aromas of blackberry backed by a mild oaky layer. Very fresh finish. Great with seasoned dishes based on pasta, rice and vegetables, as well as fried or roast white meat." —winemaker

"Dark cherry red with garnet highlights. Astounding aroma of black fruit (wild blackberries), with exquisite jammy (cherry) notes coming through, and a toasty nuance (roasted coffee). Dense and velvety on the palate, full of fruit extract, with long, flavorful and fragrant persistence that reveals elegant oak aging." —winemaker

"Bright red and garnet with a rim turning to brick showing its extended aging in barrel and bottle. Complex aromas from its development and aging, mature ripe black fruit, and vanilla and cinnamon spice, with a deep mineral core. Velvety smooth, harmonious with a fresh finish." —winemaker
