Don Jacobo – Reserva Rioja 2015 🇪🇸

A Classic Rioja Born on the Camino de Santiago — Bold, Spiritual, and Damn Good

Where old vines meet old souls.
The 2015 Don Jacobo Reserva from Bodegas Corral isn’t just a wine — it’s liquid heritage, aged and crafted steps away from the Camino de Santiago. This is classic Rioja Alta: deep fruit, silky tannins, a kiss of oak, and the kind of elegance you don’t need to shout about.

🏅 90 Points – Wine Enthusiast

“Layered, structured, and smooth — the kind of Rioja that knows exactly what it’s doing.”

🍷 Tasting Notes

• Color: Deep violet-red — vibrant, not brooding.

• Nose: Mocha, plum, violets, and a little tobacco wrapped in sweet oak.

• Palate: Medium to full-bodied. Black cherry, cranberry, dark chocolate, and a twist of licorice. Luxurious tannins glide into a bright, pomegranate-tinged finish.

• Finish: Long, balanced, and quietly complex. That whisper of spice stays with you.

🛤️ History You Can Taste

Bodegas Corral isn’t just near the Camino de Santiago — it’s built on it. The winery stands beside the ruins of the 12th-century San Juan de Acre hospice, where pilgrims once rested. That spirit — the blend of movement, story, and stillness — lives in every bottle of Don Jacobo Reserva.

This 2015 vintage is a classic Rioja Alta blend:
85% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano, 5% Mazuelo, aged 18 months in American and French oak to round out the edges and dial up the depth.

🍽️ What to Pair It With

• 🥩 Red Meats: Roasted lamb, beef tenderloin, or pork with rosemary.

• 🧀 Cheese: Manchego viejo, dry-aged Iberico, or even a sharp cheddar.
