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