Baron de Ley Gran Reserva 2017 1.5L Magnum

Barón de Ley Gran Reserva 2017 is an exceptionally concentrated Rioja, crafted from low-yield, 50-year-old Tempranillo and Graciano vines that survived a challenging, frost-impacted growing season. This prestigious red offers an intense bouquet of ripe dark cherries and dried figs layered with complex notes of sandalwood, tobacco, and roasted coconut. On the palate, it is full-bodied and remarkably balanced, featuring silky tannins and a vibrant freshness that leads to a long, savory finish. Having earned 95 points from the International Wine Challenge, this wine is aged for a minimum of five years in oak and bottle, making it the ultimate companion for roast lamb, venison, or aged cheeses.

92 Points - James Suckling

A velvety, plush and polished Rioja showing mint chocolate, cassis, baked plums and rose essence on the nose, as well as a touch of coconut. It’s full-bodied with well-integrated tannins and a delicious, toasty finish. Drink now or hold.

90 Points - Wine Spectator

Sweet, ripe black cherry and boysenberry fruit joins toast, vanilla and red licorice notes, all brightened by the citrusy acidity in this elegant red, which offers supple tannins. There's more up front, but this continues nicely in a quiet, balanced way through the mineral-laced finish. Drink now through 2029. Tasted twice, with consistent notes.
