muriel: Gran Reserva 2001

Medium ruby-brick color. Aromatic explosion of fine oak (vanilla, fine herbs, spices...), very mature fruit (raisins, caramel...), and subtle bottle ageing sensations (leather, tobacco...). These aromas become more intense and complex as the wine begins to breathe. In the palate the wine is perfectly assembled, full of silkiness and has a velvery sensation. A Rioja classic.
