The 2015 Rioja Blanco Gran Reserva from Via Otano is continuing to blossom since I last had the pleasure to taste a bottle a year ago. The bouquet is deep and complex, wafting from the glass in a mix of pear, macadamia nut, white lilies, salty soil tones, orange peel and coconutty oak tones. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, focused and complex, with a lovely core of fruit, fine soil signature, a nice framing of oak and impressive length and grip on the very well balanced finish. This is really a lovely wine that is drinking with impressive generosity, but has plenty of potential to cruise along for several more decades in the cellar. 2023-2050.

This wine offers a bouquet of green pear and white chocolate. Tropical fruit and citrus flavors wash over the palate, joined by notes of butterscotch, cocoa butter and toasted almond that linger into the enduring finish.
