This is a wine to cellar for years!! Fully mature and therefore drinking well now, or cellar for next 20-25 years. Vinified and matured in wooden vat, from the founding time of the winery (1890), and then aged in cask for 7 years. Racked 12 times, once every 6 months, using the traditional cask-to-cask Riojan method. Bottled directly from the barrel in 1983. 95/100 Robert Parker: "The 1976 Gran Reserva 904 exhibits a nose of underbrush, mushroom, and dried fruits. Sweetly fruited, satin-textured, and elegant, it still has plenty of richness and depth of flavor. Impeccably balanced with a finish that goes on and on, it, too, should drink well for another 10-15 years". *** All international parcels are shipped with the highest standards of quality: through the premium “UPS International Express”, the fastest service against signature provided by the courier.
