Good Rioja typicity in this 2016 Gran Reserva, which has seen 24 months in American and French oak barrels and then a further 36 months in bottle before release. Soft and rich in style, with plump dark plum and blackberry fruit, some creamy vanilla oak, ripe tannins and a toasty finish. Easy to enjoy.
