About as archetypal as Rioja gets, this is a gorgeous Gran Reserva that punches well above its weight. Traditional in style, it sports a medium bodied palate with a spectacular balance between fruit, acidity and tannin, all of which comes together in a long, coconut-tinged finish. Drinking well now, this could go further but why wait?

This is so gentle, showing all the hallmarks of a great Gran Reserva. Drinking superbly now.

Cherry candies with notes of vanilla and almond. Oxidized aromas (typical of mature Rioja red wines). A lithe and enjoyable wine.

2006. Outstanding at this price- ~£15. Worth decanting.
