"Rioja Reserva out of magnums for under $60! This is a steal and perfect for your next dinner party! Enjoy 6 years of barrel and bottle aging with this lavish, full-bodied Rioja Reserva. Chock-full of all the typical flavours of Rioja - dry herbs, ripe berries and spice. A lovely glass of wine showing great balance between fruit and oak."
