Description
Deep garnet red with a soft orange-brick rim. Clear and bright, showing elegant age.
Aromatic and mature. Notes of dried red berries, tobacco leaf, old leather, cedarwood, and hints of game. Subtle undertones of dried herbs and soft vanilla from long oak aging.
Medium-bodied with lively acidity and silky tannins. Flavours of stewed plum, cherry, clove, and cured meat unfold with earthy depth. The texture is smooth and balanced, with tertiary complexity throughout.
Long, savoury finish. Echoes of spice, dried fruit, and oak linger gracefully.
A beautifully aged Rioja showing classic Gran Reserva character — elegant, refined, and full of personality. Best enjoyed now with a light decant and food to match its savoury profile.
