2009 | Bodegas Basilio Izquierdo 'B de Basilio' Tinto | Rioja Azienda Agricola Luigi Voghera The nose develops fragrances ofThe 2009 B de Basilio feels quite classical and serious, a little backward and with a nose mixing ripe red and black fruit, sweet spices, smoke and hints of leather. It is quite harmonious, with rustic elegance. The palate is medium bodied, really polished with fine grained tannins that show the hand of a great, classical winemaker. This wine has the stuffing and balance for great development in bottle. 93 Pts Robert Parker
