The 2004 Gran Reserva comes wrapped in gold wire, wears a very classical label and carries all the old Gran Reserva paraphernalia. You get exactly what you’re expecting, notes of tar, smoke, cherries in liqueur, kirsch, ink and leather, round tannins and pungent flavors of spices and tar. A textbook Gran Reserva at a great price. Drink 2014-2019. This is ready to drink. Imported by Quintessential Wines Inc., Napa, CA; tel. (707) 266-5209; www.quintessentialwines.com
