Tasting Notes

Old vine parcels in Briones and Villalba provided the fruit for this stunning Gran Reserva from the cooler 2008 vintage. Built for the long haul, this is still very young, but has incredible intensity, focus and freshness, complemented by stylish oak and layers of black fruits and Asian spices. Incredible value.
