great finale

The 2016 Gran Reserva was made with Tempranillo and 5% Graciano, aged in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels for 24 months. The wine is balsamic and spicy, with notes of smoky oak and lots of tannins on the palate, requiring a powerful food pairing. It is slightly tight on the palate, with a slight astringency on the finish." (Wine Advocate 2022) - Delivery in wooden crates is available for orders of 6 bottles of this wine (depending on the country and shipping method selected).
