Bodegas Izadi El Regalo 2018

Bodegas Izadi El Regalo 2018 is a sophisticated and powerful "Viñedo Singular" (Singular Vineyard) red wine that represents the pinnacle of the estate's Rioja Alavesa production. Sourced from a historic 3.85-hectare plot in Villabuena de Álava planted in 1936, this flagship wine is celebrated for its "crystalline precision" and deep expression of terroir. The 2018 vintage offers an intense ruby-red colour and a complex bouquet of ripe morello cherry, bramble, and smoke, layered with secondary notes of toasted oak, spices, and roasted coffee. On the palate, it is full-bodied and structured, featuring velvety tannins, a silky texture, and a long, persistent finish with hints of aromatic herbs and dark fruit.

92 Points - James Suckling

Aromas of plums, dried herbs, tea leaves, cedar and baking spices. It’s full-bodied with velvety tannins. Round and creamy with a fruity edge and a long finish. Touch of chocolate to the fruit. Drink now or hold.
