Baskets of plum juice layered upon leather show this is typically Rioja in style. It is still fresh despite its evolution; the fruit is sweet and delightfully well absorbed into the dense and elegant oak.

Impressive aromas of flowers and a palate built upon density and fruit, facing the test of time with amazing results. A lively expression of gran reserva with excellent persistence, flowing beautifully.
