No such problems exist for the 2005 Gran Reserva from an outstanding Rioja vintage. It was aged for 24 months in 25% new French and American oak and bottled without filtration. Aromas of sandalwood, Asian spices, incense, violets, mineral, and assorted black fruits lead to a masculine, burly wine with outstanding volume, concentration, and densely packed, layered fruit. This powerful offering will benefit from another 5-6 years of cellaring and drink well through 2025, if not longer. Importer:Jorge Ordonez, Fine Estates From Spain, Dedham, MA; Tel. (781) 461-5767
