Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Strong nose with blue and red fruits.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate and easy drinking.
Showing raspberries, blueberries, black plums, cooked cherries, spices, light oak, licorice, tobacco, herbs, light earth, dried tomatoes, chocolates and black pepper.
Medium plus in finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
This Gran Reserva from Rioja is always a good choice. Showing nice complexity with a smooth mouthfeel.
Rich and elegant with good balance.
Drinks very young right now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 to 15 years.
Needs an hour to open up, but good right out of the bottle too.
I've had many different vintages of this wine, and it always delivers. My favorite so far was the 2004.
14% alcohol by volume.
90 points.
$30.
