El Coto de Imaz Reserva 2020 is a classic and beautifully balanced Rioja, combining ripe fruit with subtle savoury and cocoa nuances. The nose offers juicy plum, red cherry and berry aromas alongside milk chocolate and pine, while the medium-bodied palate is smooth and velvety, supported by fine-grained ripe tannins and balanced acidity. A succulent, mineral-tinged finish with hints of herbs, spice and cocoa makes this an approachable yet age-worthy Reserva.
