2010 Remírez de Ganuza - Rioja Gran Reserva - 1 Magnum (1.5L)

2010 Remírez de Ganuza - Rioja Gran Reserva - 1 Magnum (1.5L)

The phenomenal 2010 Gran Reserva is produced with 90% Tempranillo, 10% Graciano. Here, they select the grapes from some of their best and oldest vineyards, put them in cold storage for 24 hours and then exclusively select the grapes from the top half of the bunches. It fermented in 7,000-liter oak vats and small stainless steel tanks followed by malolactic and 40months aging in new French barriques. This is a vintage that deserves to be laid down in the cellar, as it has all the components and the balance to develop into a superb classical Rioja with a few more years in bottle. Everything seems to be in its place, and all components show high quality: the tannins, the acidity, the oak, the fruit... Highly recommended. One for the cellar. 5000 bottles produced, 250-300 magnum. It was bottled in May 2013.

Savoury nose with concentrated aromas of raspberry, red currants and touches of sweet spices. Ripe tannins, with a warm finish
