The purple-colored 2003 Gran Reserva is a blend of 80% Tempranillo, 10% Mazuelo, and 10% Garnacha aged for 24 months in French and American oak followed by 3 years in bottle prior to release. It gives up a slightly roasted, reticent nose of damp earth, espresso, spice box, and assorted black fruits. On the palate it has ample ripe fruit leading to a slightly compact finish. It has enough structure to evolve for several years, but whether it has the requisite fruit is another question. Drink it over the next 5 years to be on the safe side.

This chewy red offers dried plum, cedar and sanguine flavors over slightly gritty tannins. It has concentration, but needs food to soften its austerity. Drink now through 2010. 7,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.??–TM??Region: Spain / Rioja Select to Add
