PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEWS: The Eguren family are the pioneers in the production of parcel-specific single cru wines from Rioja in the Burgundy model, and today's offer is the embodiment of their foresight, knowledge, and talents. Sourced from the La Llana Vineyard on the banks of the Ebro River, the wine spent 24 months aging in a combination of new and seasoned French and American oak barrels. It has expressive aromas of redcurrant, cherry, and licorice. Juicy in the mouth, it has red fruit flavors mixed with toasty vanilla and underlying mineral notes. Penetrating acidity extends the long, spicy, floral-dominated finish.*

93 points, Wine Enthusiast Magazine:
"This deeply hued wine has a bouquet of black cherry, cassis, and lavender. It offers flavors of purple plum, blackberry, clove, and mint backed by rigorous tannins that slowly melt away to reveal a finish marked with notes of anise and eucalyptus."
91 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2018 Reserva Única was produced with tempranillo and 3% graciano fermented destemmed with indigenous yeasts selected from their vineyards and matured in oak barrels, 60% French and 40% American, for 24 months, including malolactic. The wines from 2018 are more delicate, have very good precision, and feel fresh but have structure and balance and incisive tannins, and this is a very good example of it. This has 13.9% alcohol and 5.92 grams of acidity, showcasing a year of lower alcohol (most wines from 2018 are below 14%) and higher acidity."
