Baron de Ley – A Lifetime’s Work
Baron de Ley 2010 Gran Reserva, DOCa Rioja, Spain ($29.95)
John Szabo: This is lovely, fragrant, classically styled Rioja, with cinnamon, sandalwood and moderate cedar notes, bright red fruit, and juicy, succulent acids. This is well-pitched, balanced, highly drinkable in a traditional style, offering loads of complexity for the money.
Baron de Ley 2014 Finca Monasterio, DOCa Rioja, Spain ($34.95)
David Lawrason: This is a deeply coloured, black-ruby shaded Rioja with a very ripe blackberry jam, almost dried date nose steeped in oak, vanillin and considerable meatiness. It is full bodied, quite dense, fairly tannic and concentrated. A bit youthful but this has cohesion and depth and very good focus. Bigger than most Rioja but it manages is size well.
Baron de Ley 2013 Reserva, DOCa Rioja, Spain ($21.95)
Coming soon! New vintage being released in VINTAGES July 7, 2018.
