I bought this for a wine tasting alongside a reserva and found it more difficult to palate with a strong tannin residue. Not worth the price for me. Santi liked it.

Textbook gran reserva from the northern part of Rioja. Nose of cassis, dark fruit,, and prunes with hints of tobacco and a bit of leather. Strong acidity holds it all together on the palate while flavors of vanilla and oak lead to a lingering finish. I really like this - it has aged well. 2007 vintage on Feb 6, 2020
