Beronia 2005 Selección 198 Barricas Red (Rioja)
- Cellar Selection
- $80
This textbook example of classic Rioja is light yet strong, with tobacco, earth and spice aromas accenting dry raspberry and plum scents. It feels juicy and agile, with popping acidity and crisp flavors of red plum and cherry. Like its gran reserva cousin from 2005, this finishes dry and can stand up to additional aging. Drink 2014–2025.

Beronia 2005 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- Online Exclusive
- $19
Aromas of leather, smoked meats, charred oak and lacquer are not for the weak, while the mouthfeel is firm, deep and just right. Juicy and bright in terms of flavors, with black cherry, vanilla and coconut. Toasty and alert on the finish, but with smacking tannins. Drinkable now and good for another four or five years.

Beronia 2004 Reserva Red (Rioja)
- $19
A touch earthy and mulchy, but airing reveals true Rioja aromas of dried berry fruits, vanilla and dill weed. The palate runs fast and true, with piercing acidity pushing red fruit flavors of strawberry and raspberry. Spicy and a little woody on the finish, with herbs and a final dash of dill.
