Beautiful and deep Gran Reserva. You can really taste classicism here. It has an elegant texture, well-integrated tannins, lots of complexity and notes of roasted fruits, sweet spices, cigar box, dried herbs and sweet oak. Fresh acidity enlivens the vivid, spicy and impressively long finish.
93pts Wine Enthusiast
Dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a nose of dark plum and pomegranate. It feels well balanced across the palate, with mid-weight tannins, flavors of pomegranate, raspberry, milk chocolate, orange zest, toasted almond, and a bright finish.
92pts James Suckling
Blueberries, fresh blackberries, orange peel, crushed stones and sweet spices follow through to a medium to full body that unleashes lots of succulent red-berry fruit with smoothly wound tannins. Bright acidity gives it a kick. Quite long and subtle. Vegan. Drink or hold.
Winemaker Notes
Garnet color with a slightly orange rim and a medium layer. Complex medium aromatic intensity. It perfectly combines the freshness of the red fruit as raspberry and cherry and the complexity added by its time in French oak barrels. Subtle pepper and balsamic notes are followed by roasty and smoky aromas. It has an interesting entrance in the palate with gentle, fine, rounded and wide tannins. Of a medium-high acidity and pleasant and persistent aftertaste.
