Very much in the classic and old school winemaking camp. Med+ nose of tertiary red fruits and spices, light American oak notes of dill and savory. Medium bodied, med+ acidity, tannin are medium and finely textured, med/med+ elegant finish. I expected more complexity and depth.

this is the kind of wine you buy on spec as a vote of confidence that you'll soon have some unexpected moment of good fortune—willful superstition, your Tony Robbins Reserva, your crypto ambrosia—and the more you believe, the better it works. $50.

All about nuance and finesse, not the typical Gran Rerva in my experience. Dark cherries, earth, dried flowers, and leather/tobacco.

This is a nice 10 yr old wine IF you like American oak. It's not over the top oaky at all, but you can tell it's American (not a favorite of Mia's). SS
