Rioja blend very tight or concentrated in its early character; Taste Dark Plum fruit -smoke- steel - huge tannic.
Nose new leather, Five Star spice and smoke.
After opening up (1 hour): Nose, Strawberry Jam. Taste, Rose - Red Currant - Large Oak - Saddle -Clay. Tannic reduced with food (Paella) and then returned but less severe after dinner.
Would revisit with fatter meats.

Nicely balanced Gran Reserva. Dark fruit, plums, raisins, tobacco, pepper and a little vanilla. Almost fully developed.

Color - brick red, orange-ish edges
Nose - sour cherry, raspberry; pleasantly tart red fruit. Hints of spice.
Palate - medium plus body, medium plus acidity. Loads of red fruit, sour cherry dominates. Silky tannins. long, lingering sweet finish with hints of pepper. Very ebjoyable.
