Tasting Notes

Deep ruby. Complex, highly perfumed scents of dark berry compote, cherry pit, pipe tobacco and vanilla. Smoky, sweet and focused, offering vibrant black raspberry, bitter cherry and vanilla bean flavors that gain power with air. This doesn't act like a 12-year-old wine! Finishes smooth and very long, with lingering sweetness and gentle, fine-grained tannins.

Score: 93

Heady and rich. Gamey then dry. Very vibrant with strawberry fruit.

Score: 17

Fresh roasted coffee beans and perfumed tobacco highlight well-structured strawberry and cassis. Finishing touches of Earl Grey tea and vanilla reveal a refined and sensitive nature. 5 stars, Gold award winner Decanter world wine awards 2013

The 2001 Gran Reserva 904 will not be released for another 3 years. Dark ruby-colored with a garnet rim, it displays a lovely nose of Asian spices, incense, tobacco, balsamic, and blackberry. On the palate it has exceptional depth, layers of spicy black fruit, excellent ripeness, and an elegant personality. Upon release it should continue to evolve for another 5-6 years and drink well through 2040.
