Found a ‘14 hanging around. Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas, herb and spicy pepper notes. On the palate blackberry and plum flavors with notes of black pepper, cacao and earthy spice. Savory ripe tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and earthy herb notes. Just ok, drink now past it’s prime!

Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas and sweet baking spice notes. On the palate blackberry and black cherry flavors with notes of cinnamon, cacao and earthy spice. Savory full fine tannins on medium finish ending with fruit and forest floor character. Good value. Tasted twice.

Fist, the Gran Reserva is significantly better than the Reserva. Deep Ruby with dark fruit aromas, oak and toasty spice, has 10% Graciano in blend. On the palate plum, cherry and blackberry flavors with notes of leather, cacao and vanilla spice. Savory ripe fine tannins on long finish ending with fruit and tangy oak. Tasting Sample.
