Bodegas Palacio, Glorioso Reserva, Rioja, Spain, 2016

On sale from early April, this Rioja Reserva falls stylistically between the traditional and the modern, with fresh, vibrant fruit, and well-integrated French oak. Made by Bodegas Palacio, in the heart of Rioja Alavesa, it's drinking beautifully now but has life left in it yet if you want to keep it for a few years. If you prefer your Rioja to be aged in sweeter American oak, try The Society's Rioja Reserva from the equally good 2015 vintage.
