Lovely ruby-red with medium depth of colour and slight brick-red hues, the text-bookdefinition of Rioja Gran Reservas. Great aromatic intensity on the nose, less fruit-driven, but generous hints of lavender,ginger and saffron. A round and balanced palate, displaying silky tannins while still remaining fresh and lively. The aftertaste is long and lingering, it offers hints of toasted wood and dried fruits.
