Ruby in color with a reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity.
Showing cherries, raspberries, spices, light oak, licorice, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and peppercorn.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy raspberries.
Rich and powerful. Balanced and easy drinking.
I've had this wine a few times before and it is very consistent.
Still young and needs at least 5 years in the bottle to mature.
14% alcohol by volume.
91 points.

This is, literally, perfect Rioja! Complete, complex, with an exotic edge.

Mag. I believe the GR only bottled in large format in 05. Dark, stained berry, exotic spice, medium plush with tannins that stick out juuuust a little but clearly showing to be spectacular in around a decade ;) wish we had stashed one away

Still a baby. Threw in the decanter, and it started to open up. Delicious vanilla & fruit. Acid & tannins are still pretty prominent. Cold def go for a while, but is delicious with a decant.

Fabulous, deep, dark, and sumptuous. Ideal amount of tannins and wood
