Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The creamy 2014 Señorío de P. Peciña Reserva has abundant balsamic notes, hints of incense and cigar ash and plenty of spices and a smoky touch combined with candied fruit and a sharp mouthfeel, like the élevage of three years in used American oak barrels was a bit rough with the more delicate fruit from 2014. 42,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in November 2018. It's ready now, and it's not a Reserva for the very long haul.

Hailed as the star red variety in Spain’s most celebrated wine region, Tempranillo from Rioja, or simply labeled, “Rioja,” produces elegant wines with complex notes of red and black fruit, crushed rock, leather, toast and tobacco, whose best examples are fully capable of decades of improvement in the cellar.
Rioja wines are typically a blend of fruit from its three sub-regions: Rioja Alta, Rioja Alavesa and Rioja Oriental, although specific sub-region (zonas), village (municipios) and vineyard (viñedo singular) wines can now be labeled. Rioja Alta and Alavesa, at the highest elevations, are considered to be the source of the brightest, most elegant fruit, while grapes from the warmer and drier, Rioja Oriental, produce wines with deep color, great body and richness.
