lightly rusty in color, this outstanding gran reserva is just now entering its golden years, which should endure for another two decades or so. aromas of raisin, malt, tobacco and cedar are beautiful. this is tight and sinewy in feel, with rooty, creamy, classic rioja flavors of vanilla, tobacco and dried red fruits. a lasting, stout finish isn't breaking down at all; drink through 2040.
