Lovely savory aromas and palate with rich earth tones and red fruit layered on fine tannins and good, balanced acid structure. Nose projects 2 inches from the glass, and the finish is moderately long. Like many older gran reserves, this wine needs at least 2 hours to open to the balance described above.

Had it in 2021 and it was big bodied with nice dark berry nose with a smooth finish. Texture was balanced and the wine is very nice.
