The 2006 Gran Reserva has had extended oak and bottle aging and is quite transparent with the character of the vintage, where the fruit is riper, black rather than red, and displaying a roasted character in the palate with very approachable tannins and supple flavors. Drink 2014-2016. This classical name now belongs to the Osborne group from Jerez, and still represents the pure traditional Rioja style. Following the tradition of past times they still offer some older vintages once they have acquired more complexity and are ready to drink. Imported by Evaton, Inc, Stamford, CT; tel. (203) 968-8220
