I loved the nose of the 2012 Gran Reserva, which was surprisingly aromatic with classical notes of cherries in liqueur, blonde tobacco, hints of cured meat, spices and smoke. This is always a good compromise between the modern and more classical style. The palate is nicely balanced with fine tannins. 15,300 bottles were filled in December 2014.

The 2010 Gran Reserva is quite aromatic and floral, quite modern within the classical profile, with restrained oak and spiciness. The palate is nicely balanced, with fine tannins. A (good) surprise. 8,080 bottles produced.

The 1999 Gran Reserva is dark ruby-colored with a classic Rioja profile of cedar, tobacco, leather, black cherry, and blackberry. Firm and tannic on the palate, the wine lacks generosity and will need 5-7 years to show its best. It is something of a gamble. Importer: Chris Campbell, C & P Wines, New York, NY; tel. (917) 846-1708
