2018 Remirez de Ganuza 'Olagar' Gran Reserva Rioja DOCa, Spain Nebbiolo d'Alba Lots of black olive withRemarkable balance between nutty development, moreish intensity, nuanced fragrance and zesty drive; all elements work in tandem to create a wine that is at once dense and vibrant. Marcona almonds, frangipane, guava, pear and lemon curd mingle on the palate. Creamy on the mid palate but with zesty energy on the attack. Long, umami tail of comt and white truffle. Drinking beautifully now but still with great potential to develop in bottle. 97 Pts
