The 2013 Reserva Grande Rocim is the winery's Alicante Bouschet, typically it's blockbuster style. It comes in at 15% alcohol and was aged for 24 months in new French oak. This is surprisingly elegant—in a certain sense—this year. More refined than I've typically seen before, it easily avoids jam and an overly dense mid-palate. It seems to handle its alcohol well. It throws off a touch of a rare, roast beef nuance. Then, the power comes out. Although there is a real backbone here, it is never really too hard. You'll want to age this to allow the fruit to show more expressiveness and complexity, rather than just to allow the tannins to soften. This is a pretty nice Grande Rocim. It may have some questions to answer in the cellar to justify its price point and its massive bottle, but it does well. There were just 3,963 bottles produced.
