As grapes come into the winery, Luis Canas inspects each bunch from his best vineyards and sets aside the most beautifully ripe for this wine. It's around 95% Temparnillo and 5% Graciano and ages 24 months in new oak (70/30 French/American) and 36 more in bottle before release. It’s delicious with lovely ripe black fruit, sweet oak spice, and a fine, firm, tannic clinch on the beef and lamb-friendly finish. Good stuff.
James Suckling: 92 Points
"A tight, full-bodied Rioja with some vanilla spices, walnuts and hazelnuts to the black plums and cherries. Juicy and a bit chewy on the palate with very firm tannins that are tightly tucked into the long, creamy finish. 95% tempranillo and 5% graciano."
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
"The 2016 Gran Reserva was produced with Tempranillo and 5% Graciano that matured in 70% French and 30% American oak barrels for 24 months. The wine is balsamic and spicy, with smoky oak notes and plenty of tannins n the palate, in need of powerful food."
