Bodegas Exopto - Horizonte de Exopto 2008

Rioja|Red wine

4/5 (7 customers)

Rating: Robert Parker 90+/100
“Horizonte de Exopto 2008 is a blend of 65% Tempranillo, 20% Graziano, and 15% Grenache, aged for 10 months in French and American oak barrels. Deep ruby in color, it offers notes of Asian spices, incense, minerals, leather, a hint of balsamic, and an assortment of black fruits. Spicy, flavorful, and very complex on the palate...” (Robert Parker - Wine Advocate June 2011). A must-try!
