A completely different nose that is more animale in character with more earth and crushed herbs as well that can also be found on the deep and exceptionally rich flavors that offer outstanding volume and sève on the palate drenching finish that goes on and on

Rioja Alta, Gran Reserva 890 Size:3x1.5L Not surprisingly at only 10Reddish orange color. Knockout aromas reminiscent of a great mature Burgundy, strawberry, plum, loam, tar, vanilla, smoke and earth. Rich, shockingly fresh flavors of currant, cinnamon and earth; juicy acids give clarity to the wine's flavors and cleanse the palate. Slight minty nuance on the very long, brisk aftertaste. Fabulous Rioja gran reserva. Stephen Tanzer
