Antonio Hidalgo Selection 'Tradicion H' Gran Reserva, Rioja DOCa, 2015 Spain Sauvignon Blanc - Semillon yellow stone fruitsHeady aromas of malted milk ball, ripe berry fruits and tobacco are warm and welcoming. Hailing from a warm year, this feels full but playful, with tannins that are only mildly scratchy. Flavors of vanilla, tobacco, butter, herb and dried berry fruit are textbook for Rioja gran reserva, while this takes a while to fully unfold on the finish.
