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.

Big and brawny. Great with a lamb burger.

9.1-9.2 As much as I try to avoid oak juice, this is totally worth drinking now, or better yet, holding onto for 3-5 years.

Dark ruby color with a cranberry colored meniscus. Intense aromas of tobacco, wet soil, graphite and dried purple flowers with a subtle black fruit note. The savory palate also is full of tobacco, bramble, dried citrus, black tea and baker’s chocolate with just a bit of black berry/cherry/plum fruit. Hint of baking spices on the medium finish. Very low acidity and little in the way of tannin. Probably a bit past its prime but still quite complex. Extremely earthy and dense. Better with aeration and with food. Also better the second day.

Good day 1, great day 2. This is quite a bit different than what we remember from our first bottle - more old leather character which we both enjoyed. Nose is leather, floral, and stewed dark fruit. Nice chewy mouthfeel. Cherry, fig, baking spice, and acidity. I’d love to have this with a great food pairing. Thinking duck breast with fruit sauce and ancient grains.
