Bilbao Duty Free purchase

Exclusively in great vintages, this Gran Reserva reflects the elegance and classicism of the finest Rioja tradition. An extraordinarily complex and expressive wine that brims with different nuances. With at least two years' aging in French oak barrels and more than 40 months in the bottle, it is subtle and silky, with polished, velvety tannins and notes of resin and candied fruit.

Candied fruit aromas for sure... it smells like Isobel's Christmas Cake. So soft and velvety on the palate after 10 years... ripe black cherry, leather, a hint of baking spices.
