The 1987 Gran Reserva 890 exhibits notes of volatile acidity intermixed with new saddle leather, spice box, and sweet caramelized cherry and currant fruit. A medium garnet color is already revealing amber at the edge. Dry, austere, complex, and nuanced, it will drink well for 5-6 years. The wine needs to be drunk with food in order to best strut its stuff.
