In the glass it shows a ruby hue with garnet highlights, offering lifted notes of violets and cherries on the nose. The palate is silky and refined, with flavours of red cherry, redcurrant and citrus peel wrapped in cinnamon, balsamic, toasted oak and a gentle savoury warmth. Naturally fresh acidity from the northern Rioja Alta vineyards and fine, soft tannins give structure, length and excellent ageing potential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Scores and Accolades\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBodegas Tarón Reserva has attracted strong critical attention, with recent vintages earning around 90–92 points from leading critics such as James Suckling.

Between them they farm around 700 hectares of vineyards, many planted over 50 years ago, with their oldest plots (100 years plus) reserved for the flagship Cepas Centenarias. The Reserva harnesses this old‑vine fruit and Tarón’s meticulous long oak ageing to deliver a Rioja that balances traditional structure and savoury notes with a clean, modern fruit profile.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ellis Wines","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58211113369987,"sku":"ELL10217","price":21.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0272\/9843\/1058\/files\/TaronRiojaReserva_9a67f46c-82f7-4912-8272-50412ad142c0.png?v=1781012770","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectcellar.com\/products\/bodegas-taron-rioja-reserva","provider":"Perfect Cellar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
