Ruby in color with a wide brick rim.
Wonderful nose with plenty of fruits, earth notes and chocolates.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with great complexity.
Showing blackberries, black currants, cooked plums, cedar, tobacco leaf, light vanilla, earth, spices, leather, chocolates, coffee, peppercorn and licorice.
Medium in length on the finish, with no tannins at all.
This 45 year old is delicious now. Might not be at its peak anymore, but it is still gorgeous.
Still showing lots of fruits with great complexity and a soft mouth feel. Elegant and fruit forward. Really nice.
I've had a few vintages of this wine and it is always nice to drink this kind of wines.
Thank you John for sharing this with me.
Didn't last too long, and started declining after 45 minutes of airtime.
Paired beautifully with a nice piece of fillet.
13% alcohol by volume.

A pretty color of ruby, with a wide brick/ reddish rim.
Full bodied and elegant.
Dry on the palate with medium acidity.
Showing red currants, plums, cherries, wood, spices, coffee, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, herbs and black pepper.
Medium finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This 15 year old Rioja Reserva is drinking very nicely now. Showing nice complexity at this point.
Still young and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Nicely balanced with a nice mouthfeel. A very tasty aged Rioja, and a good food wine.

Our 2019 edition had Chremisa in large letters on the bottle and it was fabulous. It was different than any Gruner we’ve had. — 3 years ago

Man I think I paid 9 dollars for this what a phenomenal value. Big citrus and very drinkable. Pairs well with true crime and spicy Asian food :) — 10 months ago
