2012 Bodegas Campillo Rioja Reserva Selecta

Big blue fruit and discreet oak on the nose, then an appealing balance of fruit and tannin on the medium body, the finish moderately tannic and quite long. Drink now or hold. Review Date: August 2018

The creamy, balsamic and oaky 2012 Reserva Selecta, pure Tempranillo aged in new American oak barrels for 22 months, has a juicy palate with abundant, fine-grained tannins and good balance. It has a faint animal character. Only 6,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in September 2014.
