A colossally complex, sumptuous, beautifully mature Gran Reserva, with a fabulously intricate and inviting bouquet of vanilla, fig, dark chocolate, vanilla bean, black truffle and autumn leaves. The palate utterly lives up to the expectation set by the nose: super-soft, mature tannins; full-bodied and crammed with pronounced flavours of dates, seasoned wood, liquorice, hot tar, woodsmoke and brown cardamom. Superb length on the palate. Awesome wine, outstanding quality.

Winemaking
The grapes are traditionally 100 % destemmed. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature between 28 and 32º C with indigenous yeast selected from their own vineyards. Extended maceration on the skins for 14 days, with two pump-overs daily to begin with. During the maceration, the pump-overs are reduced to avoid the extraction of the bitter and vegetative characteristics. The wine ages for 24 months in American oak Bordelaise barrels, 25 % new oak, 75 % maximum of 3 year old barrels.
