🏰Telmo Rodriguez Tabuerniga 2015 is a single-vineyard Rioja, a jewel from Bodegas Lanzaga, offering 【exceptional intensity and subtle, layered fruit purity akin to the critically acclaimed Las Beatas】. This wine is a field blend, predominantly Tempranillo with Graciano, Mazuelo, and other indigenous varieties, grown on old bush vines in a unique amphitheater-shaped valley with limestone and clay soils. The 2015 vintage is described as elegant and balanced, with a deep yet complex and sophisticated nose showing discretion, perfume, and finesse, along with hints of violet extract. The palate is taut, linear, and unwavering, delivering succulent, refined, and regal red-cherry fruit with fine-grained tannins. 🍴 This elegant Rioja pairs wonderfully with classic meat dishes such as beef, lamb, game, and roasted or braised preparations. Its structure and fruit profile also make it suitable for hearty stews, cured Iberian ham, and mature cheeses. 🥂 An excellent choice for a discerning dinner party, a celebration of Spanish cuisine, or as a thoughtful gift for a collector of fine Rioja. It's a wine that rewards contemplation. This wine is still young and can benefit from decanting for 1-2 hours to allow its complex aromas to fully unfold. Serve at 16-18°C (60-64°F).
