The 2017 Gran Reserva is 96% Tempranillo and 4% Mazuelo, sourced from Haro, Villalba, Foncea and Cenicero in Rioja Alta. Aged for 25 months in French and American oak barrels, this garnet wine presents intense black fruit aromas with wild herbs and garrigue-like balsamic notes. Hints of coee, wax and varnish add further complexity. Dry, rich and taut due to its fairly rough tannins, it lingers with a rm mouthfeel, showcasing a classic yet warm expression of Rioja.
