The 2001 Coto de Imaz Reserva, from a superb Rioja vintage, is medium ruby-colored. It offers up an attractive bouquet of cedar, spice box, clove, and red fruits with some complex secondary characteristics from bottle age. This leads to a medium-bodied, smooth-textured, elegant wine with good balance and moderate length. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 8-10 years. It is a good value in traditionally styled Rioja. Importer: Frederick Wildman, New York, NY; www.frederickwildman.com
