THE LOOK
Ruby-red colour, typical better Spanish red wine
THE NOSE
Powerful fruity character mingling with reminders of its ageing, nice bouquet
THE TASTE
First impression is soft, but volume gradually extends across the palate to end with a long finish. Included tannins but disturbingly

“Gran reserva = matured for a long time, more than 3 years and in addition to a couple of years in the bottle. Reserva = aged 2-3 years and in addition to one year in the bottle“
Enjoyed wine first as such and then with 1st of May food. Paired extremely well with chicken and spiced lamb sausages. Suits definately with red meats as there is enough taste.
