Tasting notes
Dense plum/ruby/purple-colored, with a sweet perfume of earth, herbs, jammy black fruits, and oak in the background, the opulently textured, round, fleshy 1994 Gran Reserva possesses full body, moderate tannin, and an accessible yet structured personality. It should drink well for 12-15 years. Importer: Classical Wines From Spain, Seattle, WA; tel. (206) 297-6713

Ruby-red. Sweet butter, spicy redcurrant, tobacco, smoke, game, milk chocolate and cedary oak on the nose. Fat, sweet, lush and very deep; broad and (deceptively?) open. Very strong, persistent fruit outlasts the substantial tongue-coating tannins. I preferred the '94 Reserva Especial I tasted a year ago, which was reportedly an early preview of this Gran Reserva.
