Bodegas Hidalgo La Gitana Reserva 2015 750ml

The 2015 La Gitana Gold Rioja Reserva begins with deep, enticing aromas of blackberry, black cherry and vanilla along with lots of other subtle touches like balsamic, tobacco and more. Taking a sip reveals a wonderful concentration of tart fruit, very well integrated spice and a smooth, almost comforting mouthfeel. Add in some notes of vanilla and this quite pleasurable to drink. It ends dry, very long, and a bit grippy.The 94 point score displayed prominently on the neck of the bottle might be a tad high, but theres no doubt this is a killer wine for just $12. While you really should sip this slowly and let it evolve in the glass, youll probably have a hard time achieving that goal! Buy a bunch.
